Scores of genealogy and family history bloggers write hundreds of posts every week about their research, their families, and their interests. I appreciate each one of them and their efforts.
My criteria for "Best of ..." are pretty simple - I pick posts that advance knowledge about genealogy and family history, address current genealogy issues, provide personal family history, are funny or are poignant. I don't list posts destined for daily blog prompts or meme submissions (but I do include summaries of them), or my own posts.
Here are my picks for great reads from the genealogy blogs for this past week:
* Fact or Fiction? A Revolutionary War soldier talked to a boy, who became a Civil War soldier by Kelly Wheaton on Wheaton Wood.
* A Family Auction One Hundred Years Ago Today by Pamela Athearn Filbert on Vita Brevis.
* How To Keep Your Matches Organized by Ellen Thompson-Jennings on Hound on the Hunt.
