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:


The Legacy Family Tree Webinar Friday announcement had me doing that dance this week!  I am so honored to have begun this series of webinars for such a great platform.
To be in the company of all the many great speakers in the genealogy world is very humbling!  I'm still pinching myself and probably won't stop dancing for a while!





What is your happy dance moment for this week?

Blog Caroling 2018~Feliz Navidad Mimi!


My family moved to Albuquerque, Nm when I was 16. My dad was assigned to the Air Force base there. One Christmas my paternal grandmother,  Mary (Baker) Hudson came to visit.
Every time we turned on the radio, Feliz Navidad sung by Jose Feliciano was on! 
I remember how much fun she had trying to sing that song. For years afterward, she would great me with Feliz Navidad

Mary "Mimi" (Baker) Hudson 


This year, my contribution to Blog Caroling, a yearly event from footnoteMaven  pays tribute to that memory of her.

Feliz Navidad,  Mimi. Wish we could spend one more Christmas together!





What songs bring back Christmas memories for you?

A Christmas Card from Pop

This post was written using this week's blog prompt "Nice" from Amy Johnson Crow's series 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks.  




 I loved finding this Christmas card from my grandfather Benjamin Allen Hudson
 (1918-1976) who we called "Pop" to my grandmother Mary (Baker) Hudson. 
It was in a trunk in her bedroom where she kept her treasures. 








Nice he gave it.
Nice she kept it.
Nice I found and can share it.

Merry Christmas Mimi and Pop! Wish we could share another together!
