The Life From The Roots blog topics have changed several times since I began this blog in 2009. I initially wrote only about the family history I had been working on for 20 years. Years later, I was into visiting gardens, historical homes, churches, libraries that had genealogical collections, historical societies, war memorials, and travel/tourism places. I also enjoy posting autographs and photos of famous people I've met or have seen.

Along with my New England roots, other areas include New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada.

Please check out the labels on the right side for topics (please note, they need work). Below the labels and pageviews is a listing of my top nine posts, according to Google. Four of them pertain to Lowell, MA. These posts change often because they are based on what people are reading.

Welcome to my Genealogy Blog, Redux


Central Street, Lowell, Massachusetts

It was a nice summer, and I enjoyed my three month break from blogging, except I slipped up recently, and posted a few things because I was itching to do it.

One change I am making is described below, and it will be posted to my heading
description. With over 930 posts written I'd like to ease up on the writing...which I know isn't strong, but will focus on taking the pictures that relate to history in some way.


For four years I've blogged mostly about my personal genealogy in New England (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire), New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconson, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada. In addition, I have taken a lot of photos to go along with my stories.

After 4 years, I have decided to update my blog, and make it more useful to those who have New England ancestors and want to see the area through photos, I know you don't all want to read about my ancestors. I have always loved photography, and even took 8 cover shots for the DAR Magazine many years ago. Things I’ll include are typical white New England churches, libraries showing their genealogical collection, historical societies, historical sites, cemeteries and war monuments. If something else interests me, I’ll take pictures. I’ll also take some nature shots, like the ocean, flowers, and the lay of the land.
