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:
* We All Carry Inside Us The People Who Came Before Us by Paul Chiddicks on The Chiddicks Family Tree.
* How to Bust a Brick Wall When You're Too Busy for Genealogy by Jennifer Dondero on The Occasional Genealogist.
* When Your Kids Won't Take Their Stuff: Make a Book by Brenda Leyndyke on Journey to the Past.
* Finding a Final Resting Place by Jacqi Stevens on A Family Tapestry.
* Sourcing Events by Marcia Philbrick on Heartland Genealogy.
* Family History as News: Don't Bury the Lede Marian B. Wood on Climbing My Family Tree.
* Back to the Basics with Immigration Records: Part 3 1820-1906 by Diana Elder on Family Locket.
