GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show: RR Season Day 9: A Day of Answers with guests Abe and Eric

 

Cheri and the panel Jenny Hawran, Laura Hedgecock, and Mary Kircher Roddy had a great time discussing Relative Race Season 14, Day 9 with Abe and Eric, winners of season 13! Having them discuss the day's happenings and get their perspectives as former team members is always fun. They are part of an exclusive club that genuinely understands what everyone is going through as they journey through the race.

Watch as we discuss the answers that those waiting on this season's last day of meeting family.

What are your predictions for Day 10?

We'd love to hear from you.

Celebration Sunday-Genealogy Happy Dance! Completing My SLIG Fall Virtual 2024 Course

 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 -Completing My SLIG Fall Virtual Course!

For the last 10 weeks, I have been learning from Gena Philibert-Ortega and her team of instructors in her SLIG Fall 2024 course, An Advanced Study of Death: Cemeteries, Death Records, and Material Culture. We have learned about headstones and their carvers, mourning practices and jewelry, burial and mourning customs, ethnic cemeteries, epidemics, and so much more.

This course is unusual in topic and scope but has been so interesting as we think about the people we are researching and ways to understand what was happening at the time of their deaths. What things do we need to consider to help tell their story, and how do we research in areas we have yet to think of.

If you get the opportunity to take this course, do so! 

Thanks to Gena, the other instructors, and my fellow classmates, who contributed to an interesting learning experience each week. 

SLIG offers many courses to build genealogy skills.
