SNGF: The Happy Dance

ByTerri February 21, 2010July 9, 2014

Randy, continues to delight us with a fun post for Saturday night.

Hey, it’s Saturday Night (again), time for some Genealogy Fun!

Your mission, if you decide to accept it, is to:

1) Think of any number of genealogy events or moments that make you have a genealogy happy dance, an ah-ha moment, or a genea-gasm.

2) Tell us about them in a blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a comment on Facebook.

Here are mine:

Reply from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church

Information on my paternal 2 Great Grandmother

Obit of A. Poray Koshits

Obituary of my Mother in Laws Grandfather, from Russia

The Start of my Climb, Dennis O’Connell

This is the reason I started my blog. My O’Connell line is the toughest to research so far.

Along with these posts, some of the great moments I have had are getting in contact with relatives that I did not know. Spending the day with Bob in West Virginia, he showed us 4 different cemeteries and the relatives we shared within them. I will never forget this day or his generosity, he spent his day with strangers, that happened to be family. I met Bob through Myfamily.com, on a site dedicated to Raleigh County, WV.
