Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 7 to 13 September 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: 

*  Experimenting with Gemini AI's New Image Editing Features by Melody Lassalle on Mel's Genealogy Research Journal.

*  Whats in My Genealogy Toolbox by Marcia Crawford Philbrick on Heartland Genealogy.

*  UGA Summit of Excellence 2025 Recap: A Fantastic Three Days of Genealogical Learning by Diane Henriks on Know Who Wears the Genes In Your Family.
