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:
* Using Historical Laws to Dig More From Tax Records by Kimberly Powell on Learn Genealogy.

Thank you for including me in this week's "Best of!"
Randy, thanks so much for mentioning my blog post as I continue wandering through the wonderland of FamilySearch Lab's new Full Text search capabilities. What a marvelous way to unlock past family history mysteries--and correct some previous misconceptions with actual documentation newly found!
