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:
* AI in Genealogy: Creating Ancestor Songs with Gemini's New Lyria 3 Music Generator by Diane Henriks on Know Who Wears the Genes In Your Family.
* Success With Small Segments by Jim Bartlett on Segment-ology.
* The Shape of Silence by Carole McCulloch on Essential Genealogy.
* Genealogy Preservation and From Muster Rolls to Moving Stories by Marcia Crawford Philbrick on Heartland Genealogy.
* Cracking the Cadastral Map Code by Pearl on GeneaJournals.
