Heping you climb your family tree,

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.

My Happy Dance Moment for this week:

Seeing my name in print is always fun! Thanks to the NGS magazine for including my article on Virtual Meetings in the October-December 2021 issue! Getting the magazine in the mail and opening it up to see it had me doing the happy dance this week!

GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show: Relative Race Season 8 Day 5!

The panel Melissa Barker, Bernice Bennette, Dan Earl, Laura Hedgecock, Shelley Murphy, Mary Kircher Roddy, and I continue our conversation about Season 8 of Relative Race.

In this episode, we discuss our thoughts and feelings of the highly emotional Day 5.

Watch as we talk about who the teams met, the tragic news for Team Blue, cousin connections for Team Black, siblings and an important answer for Team Blue, and an emotional reunion for Team Red. A powerful day for all of the teams.
