Best of the Blogs, Week Ending January 8, 2022

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.
