GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show: RR Season 14 Day 8: A Day of Firsts

 

The panel Melissa Barker, Jenny Hawran, Laura Hedgecock, Mary Kircher Roddy and I are back again to share how they felt about the happenings on Relative Race Season 14 Day 8!

Watch as Melissa points out that this episode was a day of firsts. The first time a team has been turned away from the challenge due to a tornado, parking in the garage and walking through the house to meet a relative and of course Dan rapping!!

And we were so happy to see the recap of Team Black's journey. 

Who do you think is waiting for the teams on Day 9?

We'd love to hear from you!

GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show: Relative Race Season 14, Day 7: A Day Like No Other with Tiffani and Callie

The panel—Melissa Barker, Jenny Hawran, Laura Hedgecock, Shelley Murphy, Mary Kircher Roddy and I—welcome Tiffani (Team Red from Season 9) and Callie (Team Black from Season 12) to help us process the emotional rollercoaster of Day 7.

With the ups and downs of Season 14, Day 7, we needed to hear from those who had been there and done that. As Callie said, it was a doozy of a day! Watch as we discuss the ups and downs of tearful family connections, the fun challenge, traffic jams, devastating news, and saying goodbye to Team Black. We also got an update from Tiffani about the connections made on the race!

We are sending love to Joby and Vic!

Helping you climb your family tree,

Celebration Sunday-Genealogy Happy Dance! There's Nothing Like Being In Person!

 

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. 

Share by scrolling 

down and add 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.

I love attending and speaking at genealogy conferences! Especially those held in person. 

Last weekend I had the pleasure of traveling to Raleigh, NC to attend the North Carolina Genealogy Society  Fall Conference. 

It was so much fun to connect with old friends, meet new ones and have the opportunity to give a presentation. 

My only regret? Not taking more pictures!!

What's your Happy Dance Moment?

 Please share, and let's celebrate together!

      Share the fun! Click below to tweet this post! 

                          

                                                                                              

Looking forward to reading about your Happy Dance moment!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
