Who are you remembering this week?
Thanks so much for stopping by! Heping you climb your family tree,
You know the dance. You know you've done it. The one every researcher does after finding something new. The one where you want to jump up and down and shout to everyone that you found the document, contacted a cousin with the family Bible, made a DNA connection, or found a new branch to your tree. The one that is met with glazed stares and eye rolls.
Celebration Sunday is a place to share your discoveries.
This weekly series enables everyone to tell about their Genealogy Happy Dance moment.

My Happy Dance Moment for this week:
Speaking at genealogy events is so much fun. This week, I talked to attendees at the Association of Professional Genealogists Professional ManagementConference.
My presentation, "Blogging for Clients: Bringing in Customers One Post at a Time," was fun to put together and speak about. I appreciated the comments and questions I received from those who watched.
I also loved sharing examples of great ideas from other bloggers during the presentation!
Thanks to everyone who helped me have a great happy dance moment this week!
