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.
Celebration Sunday is a place to share your discoveries.
This weekly series enables everyone to tell about their Genealogy Happy Dance moment.

My Happy Dance Moment -Completing My SLIG Fall Virtual Course!
For the last 10 weeks, I have been learning from Gena Philibert-Ortega and her team of instructors in her SLIG Fall 2024 course, An Advanced Study of Death: Cemeteries, Death Records, and Material Culture. We have learned about headstones and their carvers, mourning practices and jewelry, burial and mourning customs, ethnic cemeteries, epidemics, and so much more.
This course is unusual in topic and scope but has been so interesting as we think about the people we are researching and ways to understand what was happening at the time of their deaths. What things do we need to consider to help tell their story, and how do we research in areas we have yet to think of.
If you get the opportunity to take this course, do so!
Thanks to Gena, the other instructors, and my fellow classmates, who contributed to an interesting learning experience each week.
