My criteria for The Best of the Blogs is this: I look for blogs that highlight genealogy methodology, new records, social and historical context, current events, and educational and volunteer opportunities. I try especially to focus on blogs that document the Irish and the Irish diaspora and may be of interest to TIARA members.

While this blog doesn't focus on specifically Irish issues, it is a really great explanation of the repatriation of the bodies of the American dead after World War I and the social and political problems surrounding the issue.
