Celebration Sunday-Genealogy Happy Dance! Participating in a Successful Genealogy Fair.

 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:

The Grand Strand Genealogy Club in Myrtle Beach, SC, had a Genealogy Fair at the local library where we have our meetings once a month.

After many weeks of planning, we were worried about whether anyone would come. But come they did! We had a great turnout. Throughout the stations we set up, people learn about the club, our newsletter, and the programs we offer.  Beginners learned how to start their journey. Club members shared how FamilySearch and Ancestry help with research. Our DNA special interest group was there to help with questions about taking tests and understanding results.  Anyone who wanted to discuss a problem they'd like to talk about could get a free 15-minute consultation, which I provided. We had a great day and had several people interested in coming to our club meeting and becoming members.

A day full of happy dances!
