Best of the Genea-Blogs - 5 to 11 January 2025

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: 

*  5 Steps to Making a Cousin Connection by Diann Iamarino Ohana on Fortify Your Family Tree.

 Loathsome Jargon: An AI Glossary for Genealogists and Fun Prompt Friday: Narration by Steve Little on AI Genealogy Insights.

 Harriett and the Clockmaker by Jeff Record on The Last Aha!

Viewed Match Switching Within Genetic Networks: Find More Relevant Matches by Rick T. Wilson, PhD on My Family Pattern.

*   Why and How to Document Personal Stories for Future Generations: Be a Good Ancestor! by Vanessa on Legacy Tree Genealogists.

*  Full-Text Search Finds by Cari Taplin on Genealogy Pants.

Here are pick posts by other geneabloggers this week:
