Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 29 June to 5 July 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: 

*  The London Express and the Life It Claimed by Jenny Mackay on Jenny's Scrapbook of Family History Stories.

*  Progress using Artificial Intelligence by Anne Young on Anne's Family History.

*  Before you try writing family history with AI, read this by Denyse Allen on Chronicle Makers.
