Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 23 February to 1 March 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: 

*  New from MyHeritage: Discover Your Ancient Origins with DNA by Diane Henriks on Know Who Wears the Genes In Your Family.
