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.
This past week, I had the honor of joining Katherine Willson and a wonderful group of instructors and students for the GRIP course "Marching Toward Change: Reformers, Crisis and Movements that transformed 19th and 20th Century America. My session was on the abolitionist movement.
This course helped to see how society and its choices, good or bad, changed our ancestors' lives and how our ancestors may have been part of that change.
So many things to think about, some were very heavy, but some were inspirational too.
There has not been a genealogy institute course like it! A true happy dance week!
