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.
My Happy Dance Moment for this week:
A probate package for a collateral member of my Brazell family included many documents referring to my ancestors and their children. this particular page is a petition for part of the estate. In the petition, family members and spouses are named! There are several pages to go through that look to shed light on this family and help to separate some same-named individuals.
Remember to always research the collateral members of your family lines!
Their records just may have the clues you need to find your ancestors,
Looking forward to reading about your Happy Dance moment!
