Best of the Genea-Blogs - 1 to 7 December 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: 

*  Holiday Gifts with Family History in Mind by Marian B. Wood on Climbing My Family Tree.

*  My Grandmother Would Be Nearly 100% African by Melvin Collier on Roots Revealed.

*  The Value of Setting up a Genealogy Research Project in Claude.ai by Diana Elder on Family Locket.
