Relative Race-Getting the Scoop at RootsTech!

Season 3 of BYU TV's Relative Race begins on Sunday, March 4.
I'm ready to watch, are you?


The TV is set to the right station on the Roku and I have my snacks. Luckily episode 1 airs before I need to get to the airport to fly home from RootsTech,

Speaking of RootsTech, the expo hall had two of the cars used in season 3. 
 I had the opportunity to sit in the green and red cars.

I was also really excited to hear that two of the teams were coming to the media hub on Friday afternoon and we would be able to talk to them.

Team Green-Jamie Grace and Morgan



Team Red -Troy and Nicole

And outside of the Salt Palace? All four cars!

Team cars for all 4 Relative Race teams!


Dan explains a little about how they show comes together.

Sharing an amazing song!






After meeting with Dan and the teams, I am even more excited for season 3!

Sunday Celebration~Genealogy Happy Dance!

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 around that you found the document, contacted a cousin who has the family Bible, made a DNA connection or found a whole 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 is a weekly series to enable everyone to tell about their Genealogy Happy Dance moment. This can be done by scrolling down and adding your story to the comments section. You may also put a link to a blog post.?




My Happy Dance This Week:  
RootsTech 2018 is in the books and I am exhausted! 
What a fun week of learning, laughing and feeling touched by the connections made through the keynotes, classes, and events.  We felt a sense of belonging as we made new friends and reunited with old ones.
Over the next few weeks, I will be blogging about my experiences this week. 
My happy dance? Attending this unique of a kind genealogy conference!





                                                                                   Share your discovery!
                                                                                   Let the dancing commence!
