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:
A box of genealogy goodies has me doing the happy dance!
My mom's paternal cousin, Mary, gifted me a box filled with old letters from World War II, newspaper clippings, photos, and other documents. She knows of my love for family history, and as she said, "You will keep all these things safe". While I have items belonging to my grandfather, Gilbert Roberts, who died in WWII, his two brothers, who also died during the war, do not have any living descendants, and she wants their memories kept alive.
There were some things included about my grandfather and his parents that I had not seen before. She says I have to come back to visit her; she has more to share.
Cousins are one of the best sources for discovering your family's stories!

Share your Happy Dance Moment for the week, and let's celebrate together!

Helping you climb your family tree,
