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 for the week:
Having a backup plan for my laptop!
When a tech guy told me my laptop had a swollen battery and I needed to get a new computer stat, I couldn't believe it!
My laptop is my main computer. I do everything from it.
I was afraid to use it, so I got a new one.
Luckily, I use Backblaze to back up my computer, and I also have all my files on Dropbox.
With Backblaze, I simply logged on with my new computer and ordered a hard drive containing all my old computer's files.
I have used that hard drive to replace my work -photos, documents, etc.
To my new laptop without losing anything.
I spent the last week downloading all my programs. The information on those was backed up, too, so it was easy to add my genealogy files to my genealogy program and sign in to my others to continue where I left off.
It's so important to have a backup plan for your computer!
Backblaze and Dropbox came through for me.
What do you use?
What were you celebrating?
Share your Happy Dance Moment for the week, and let's celebrate together!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Helping you climb your family tree,
