Celebration Sunday~Genealogy Happy Dance!



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 around that you found the document, contacted a cousin who has the family Bible, made a DNA connection or found a whole 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 is a weekly series to enable everyone to tell about their Genealogy Happy Dance moment. This can be done by scrolling down and adding your story to the comments section. You may also put a link to a blog post.





                                                                 
My Happy Dance This Week: I have two this week. First was the Virtual Presentation from DearMYRTLE and Cousin Russ to my local Genealogy Club. It was a lot of hard work getting it together but it was well worth it and the club members learn so much. We were doing the Happy Dance that it all worked out well and was so enjoyable.
 The second was a message from fellow blogger Cathy Meder-Dempsey. Looks like we have a DNA connection on my paternal side! Can't wait to look into it and see where! Happy Dance for sure!
  
                                                                           
                                                                                           Share your discovery!
                                                                                   Let the dancing commence!





Are we kin? Please contact me. Together we can find our people.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

  1. My Happy Dance is gathering together with MSOG friends, making new genealogy friends and meeting Mary Tedesco, one of the Genealogy Roadshow co-host, while geting a sneak peek at the Rhode Island Genealogy Roadshow broadcast. Awesome.

  3. I found my birth father's obituary and burial place as well as his mother's burial place and his pater grandparents burial place all in Charleston. I also drove down to Savannah to pick up my paternal great grandmother's death certificate which provided her date of birth and the big one her parents names!
