Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 27 October to 2 November 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: 

*  Uncovering Family Mysteries with DNA: A Step-by-Step Journey by Diane Henriks on Know Who Wears the Genes In Your Family.

 The Ancestor Hunt’s Top 100 Free Genealogy Websites by Kenneth R. Marks on The Ancestor Hunt.

*  Pro Tools Part 11 by Jim Bartlett on Segment-ology.

*  When City Directory Indexing Goes Wrong: A Genealogist’s Tale by Nicole Dyer on Family Locket.

*  Family History Jumpstart: Census Records and Your Ancestor’s Education by Juliana Szucs on Upfront With NGS.
