Best of the Genea-Blogs -- Week of 21 to 27 June 2026

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:

*  MyHeritage Tribute Reel: Bringing Family Photos Together in a New Way by Diane Henriks on Know Who Wears the Genes In Your Family.

*  A Concept Project for Segmentologists by Jim Bartlett on Segment-ology.

 Don't Try This Unreliable Genealogy Practice by DiAnn Iamarino Ohama on Fortify Your Family Tree.

*  Unearthing an Oklahoma Death Certificate Buried Under Tricky Handwriting by Nicole Elder Dyer on Family Locket.

*  The Most Precious Manuscript on Earth by Lori Olson White on The Lost & Found Story Box.
