Celebration Sunday: Genealogy Happy Dance! First Day of My South Carolina IGHR Course!

 

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 lets everyone share their Genealogy Happy Dance moment.

My Happy Dance Moment for the week:

Tuesday night was the first of a 9-week course I am coordinating for the Institute of Genealogy and History (IGHR). There were lots of nerves before the course began, and I planned to teach my first two sessions, but after it was over for the evening, I realized what a fun evening it was!

Fabulous instructors are joining me, along with an equally fabulous group of students enrolled in the course. We also have a Facebook group that is helping people connect and share resources.

I have a feeling the happy dance will not be a moment but will be 9 weeks long!

What was your happy dance moment?

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

My Happy Dance Moment for the week:

Registration has begun for my 2026 Course for the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research. It was a great first day of people signing up!

Researching Your South Carolina Roots: Finding Family in the Palmetto State will help those with ancestors who settled in or passed through SC for a time on their way to somewhere else learn tips and strategies to find available records and documents, especially in the hard-to-reach upcountry.

I am thrilled to be able to teach this course with several experts in research in SC.
