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.
My Happy Dance Moment for this week:
Two boxes of letters! My dad served for 25 years on the USAF and was a faithful letter writer. My mom saved everyone. From Texas, England, Bermuda, and Vietnam, and other places, my dad wrote and let us know what was happening where he was and sent his love. Now, they have been passed to me.
Hours and hours of reading, remembering, scanning, and preserving our family history are ahead of me! How I am looking forward to it! Happy, happy dance!
Share your discovery!
My brother sent me a diary that my mom wrote..... but the box arrived empty. No dancing here.
ReplyDeleteThat's terrible! Hope it is found!
DeleteCheri, what a treasure these letters are! To look back at history through their eyes is such a blessing!
