Celebration Sunday-Genealogy Happy Dance! There's Nothing Like Being In Person!

 



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.

I love attending and speaking at genealogy conferences! Especially those held in person. 

Last weekend I had the pleasure of traveling to Raleigh, NC to attend the North Carolina Genealogy Society  Fall Conference. 

It was so much fun to connect with old friends, meet new ones and have the opportunity to give a presentation. 



My only regret? Not taking more pictures!!

My Happy Dance this week?






Attending the South Carolina Genealogical Society Workshop is always a favorite summer event. Not only did I connect with friends, make new ones, and attend great presentations, but I was also privileged to give three of my own.

My Happy Dance Moment for this week: 

I am late posting about this happy dance moment, but I couldn't let being able to attend and give presentations at the South Carolina Genealogical Society Workshop a couple of weeks ago.

As my friend Mags Gaulden says: In Person is Better!

There's something about gathering with friends and building skills that is so joyous.

I am appreciative of online learning. Being able to attend webinars and institutes I might not have been able to in person is great, but being in person offers so much more! 

This workshop is held in the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, so I was also able to get some research in. Again, this year, I was able to go through a box listed as "Miscellaneous".  It's like a box of chocolates; you never know what you are going to find!!










Such a fun way to spend a couple of days!! Happy Dance for sure!
