Best of the Genea-Blogs - 22 to 28 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: 

*  Leave No Stone Unturned, No Ancestor Behind: 10 Easy Steps to Capture DNA Clues by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy. 

*  Genealogy Classic: If You’re a Wee Bit Irish by Megan Smolenyak on Megan Smolenyak2.

*  A Wealthy Christmas by Jeff Record on The Last Aha.
