Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 1 to 7 September 2024

 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 AI in Research Planning: Isabella Weatherford Project Part 4  by Diana Elder on Family Locket.

*  What To Do with Family Secrets by Carol on Piedmont Trails.

*  Quirks of Pennsylvania German church records by James M. Beidler on Roots and Branches.

*  6 Powerful Features of Family Tree Maker by DiAnn Iamarino Ohana on Fortify Your Family Tree.

*  Deaths of a father and son… by Teresa on Writing my past.

*  Early Botetourt Virginia Marriages by Marcia Crawford Philbrick on Heartland Genealogy.

*  Family History Storytelling | 3 Game-Changing Tips from The Story Coach by Diahan Southard on Your DNA Guide.

*  German Civil Records: How to Find Your Ancestors by Stephen Wendt on Family Tree Magazine.

*  6 Steps Revolutionary War Research by Kathleen Brandt on a3Genealogy.

*  Little Telltale Signs by Jacqi Stevens on A Family Tapestry.

*  What We Don’t Talk About Enough by Lisa S. Gorrell on My Trails Into the Past.

Here are pick posts by other geneabloggers this week:

*  Friday’s Family History Finds by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.

 Friday Fossicking 6th Sept 2024 by Crissouli on That Moment In Time.

Randy, you must be at it, reading blogs all the time. How do you manage to squeeze in time for research? (Or for ice cream?!)

Thanks for mentioning my post again this week.
