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.
Share by scrolling down and adding your story to the comments section or you may also put a link to a blog post telling about what had you dancing this week.
My Happy Dance Moment for this week:
Have you tried RelativeFinder from FamilySearch?
There are many different categories to see if you have connections.
Because of the release of Hamilton, I clicked on "Signers of the Constitution"
to see if there was a link to Alexander Hamilton.
And? There was! We are 7th Cousins 7 times removed on my dad's side.
Now, I realize this is based on the FamilySearch tree and there may be errors.
Many errors! But, it's fun to play with and then do your own research to see if the connection can be correctly documented!
Have you tried this fun tool? Are you related to Alexandar Hamilton?
