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:
SLIG Fall Virtual has begun, and once again, I am taking Advanced Evidence Analysis Practicum. This is a 6-week course helping to build genealogy skills.
Each week, we get a case with a genealogy question to answer and some beginning documents to get us started. The goal is to learn as we dive into the cases that often test our knowledge of documents, locations, and methodologies.
Beginning this course is my happy dance moment for the week. Why?
It's a lot of work, but putting the time into it will bring great rewards as I build my skills to try to answer each week's questions.
If you haven't taken it, you should!
Looking forward to reading about your Happy Dance moment!
