I’m having some Saturday Night Genealogy Fun (#SNGF), with help from Randy Seaver and his prompts! Feel free to join in.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun: July 4, 2026

Prompt: “It is the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence today. How will you celebrate the day?  Or, how did you celebrate the day?”

Introduction

I had a shockingly quiet Independence Day. Well, not really. Bad storms rolled in and we were just hunkered down – thankfully everyone around here was fine.

Discussion

Heather Cox Richardson has an amazing “250 to 250” series which I have truly enjoyed. She is an historian and I like her take on things. She set up a series of very short videos about points in American History, narrated by well-known people. I urge everyone who might be interested to go check it out!

Heather’s playlist is at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2dS6uX1RkUzLppeUrqtvApwnR6whO7I_

Enjoy this celebration of the American spirit.
