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 most 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:
* How To Accurately Interpret DNA Test Results by Paul Woodbury on Legacy Tree Genealogists.
* 100 Years Ago: How Our Ancestors Lived in 1924 by Gena Philibert-Ortega on GenealogyBank Blog.
* Potential Treasure Troves In User Submitted Media by Doris Kenney on A Tree With No Name.
* Do You Cite Your Genealogy Sources? by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.
* Mind Mapping for Genealogy by Julie Cahill Tarr on Genealogy In Action.
