Celebration Sunday-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. 

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: 

Being able to moderate the FGS LIVE conference event this week was so much fun! Everyone worked so hard to produce a virtual learning experience that all would benefit from.  Unfortunately due to COVID-19, we were not able to hold the last FGS Conference in Kansas City as planned but we were able to go out with a bang! If you didn't get a chance to watch the videos will be available plus many additional sessions on September 15, 2020.
Congratulations to FGS for a fun-filled day of learning!
