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 Create Diagrams and Charts for Genetic Genealogy Research by Paul Woodbury on Legacy Tree Genealogists.
* Ten Family History Bloggers You Should Know by Bob Taylor on The Family History Guide Blog.
* Leaving the Past for the Future 6: The importance of maps by Wayne Shepheard on Discover Genealogy.
* 2 Free Websites Compare Photos to See Who's Who by DiAnn Iamarino Ohana on Fortify Your Family Tree.
