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 the week:
Last weekend I was invited to attend the opening of the Thomasville, GA Genealogy Library and to speak at a seminar for the Georgia Genealogical Society. I flew into Tallahassee and was driven to Thomasville, where I was taken to an historical home that includes an Airbnb. It was so fun to stay there for three nights. And for those asking about ghosts? None that bothered my roommate, Jennifer Dunn, and me.
Lillian Wingate has put together a treasure for her community to use to research their family, and she's a great host for guests she invites to participate in events.
I also discovered while researching in the library- there is an SC section-that some of my French Huguenot ancestors may have stopped in Bermuda on their way to Charleston. Something that added to my happy dance-filled weekend since I will be visiting Bermuda in June 2027!
Thanks to everyone who worked hard to make me feel welcome, attended my seminar, and made sure I had the best place to stay and food to eat!
