LIFE FROM THE ROOTS: May 18, 2010

Welcome to my Genealogy Blog.

Why not spend a minute or two at my Blog to see if there is anything interesting to read. Perhaps I've written something about your ancestor, gave a hint on how to locate something, provided a different way to do research, or just gave a glimpse into the world of genealogy research through words or photos. I try to make it light and enjoyable.

My roots are from New England (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire), New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wyoming, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada.

Please check out the labels on the right side for articles. The header tabs at the top are a work in progress.

I also have a blog called Seeing New England. Why not visit it, to get a feeling for the area.

Tombstone Tuesday -- Tour of Lowell Cemetery, Lowell, Massachussetts

On a lovely Friday afternoon, summerlike for May, I finally took a tour of the Lowell Cemetery (in Massachusetts). Recently, I had bee visiting it for four weeks in a row, mainly to capture images of the flowering trees and flowers, and taking a few cemetery stones. "The Lowell Cemetery was modeled after Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, which was organized a few years earlier as the first garden cemetery in America." Since I blogged about Mt. Auburn Cemetery recently, I thought some might be interested in this private and stunningly beautiful cemetery.
