Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 25 to 31 May 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: 

*  Top 5 Colonial Record Research Tips for Genealogists by Diane Henriks on Know Who Wears the Genes In Your Family.

*  Which One Are You? by Paul Chiddicks on Paul Chiddicks.

*  Reading and Transcribing Old Handwritten Documents: Transkribus by Wayne Shepheard on Discover Genealogy.
