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:
* Bennett Greenspan: Meet My Extended Family & Discover Extraordinary Deep Heritage by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy.
* 32 Ways to Find Ancestor Birth Information by Kenneth Marks on The Ancestor Hunt.
