Celebration Sunday-Genealogy Happy Dance! RootsTech 2023!

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.

My Happy Dance Moment for this week:

Attending and speaking at RootsTech 2023 was incredible! It was wonderful to be back in person, meeting up with old friends and making new ones. Teaching in person is wonderful when you can see and interact with the audience. I also served as an official Rootstech Influencer, got an inside view of what was happening at the conference, and spoke with many of the presenters, keynote, and industry leaders. It was a whirlwind few days, and I am still processing all I learned and experienced. Attending provided many, many happy dance moments!

Did you attend RootsTech 2023? What were your happy dance moments?

I would love to hear from you!

What's your Happy Dance Moment?
