Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 15 to 21 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 Logging : Isabella Weatherford Project Part 5 by Diana Elder on Family Locket.

*  Ancestry's Quick Links in my Toolbox - a Better Way by Diana Bryan Quinn on Moments In Time, a Genealogy Blog.

*  The Name's Wrong, The Identity's Right: Overcoming Record Errors by Marie Cooke Beckman on MarieB's Genealogy Blog -- Southeastern USA.

*  Genetic Networks, Part 2: How to Identify Misclassified Members by Rick T. Wilson on MyFamilyPattern.com. 

*  Best Websites – Having Fun With Genealogy With Genea-Musings – An Interview With Randy Seaver by Melina Papadopoulos on Family Tree Magazine.
