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:
* Back to the Ancestral Roots: A Story of Native American Heritage Month on the Ancestry Blog.
* The Guide to Tracing Your Ancestors’ Military Service by Maddy on Family Wise.
* How to Adapt Old Family Diaries, Journals and Letters for Modern Audiences by Laura Hedgecock on Family Tree Magazine.
* Writing a Family History Story Using Artificial Intelligence and Part Two by Brenda Leyndyke on Journey to the Past.
