Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 28 February to 6 March 2021
Scores of genealogy and family history bloggers write thousands 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 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:

Listen to the content of this post:
COCHRAN, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Bleckley County High School’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) organization is collecting prom dresses for the school’s students.
The dress drive began a couple years back when students weren’t going to prom because they couldn’t afford a dress.
Business education teacher Melissa Barker, along with the help of the school’s work-based program, so decided to provide this service.
Barker says they collect between 20 and 50 dresses each year.
The school’s main goal is to include everyone.
“We will find a way to let them participate,” Barker says. “Money should never be an issue.”
time for some more Genealogy Fun!!
Here is your assignment, should you decide to accept it (you ARE reading this, so I assume that you really want to play along - cue the Mission Impossible music!):
1) Does anyone recall the Academy of Genealogy and Family History (AGFH) awards from back in the 2008-2012 time frame, hosted by Jasia on Creative gene?
