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.

Looking Back

My Looking Back post is something I do the last day of every month.


In late August, Susan Peterson of Long Lost Relatives surprised me with the Genea-Angel Award.  Since then, I have been trying to decide how to share it with other bloggers. Recently, I've been seeing "thank yous" to those who have left comments at several blogs, so, I asked Susan if she thought I should do it also. Without hesitation, she said, "yes." It is my pleasure to share this darling Genea-Angel Award to the following people. You may copy the link and post to your blog. Many, many thanks for the nice comments you have left at my site this past month. And again, thank you to Susan.

Greta Koehl of  Greta's Genealogy Bog for her Follow Friday was kind to include my new blog Flowers From My Area as one of her selections. Thank you very much. Even though flowers and nature have nothing to do with genealogy, I have discovered there are quite a few flower lovers out there. I have taken out my comment section there, so just sit back and enjoy.

My cousin, Claire who lives near Niagara Falls, New York went on a research trip and found three wills for me, two were for my direct ancestors. What a treat. I've yet to analyze them and figure out some names, but I will very soon. This is a project I can't wait to begin. I also received the Report of Separation from the Navy on my father, quite interesting and I look forward to writing about it.  I hope these things are completed by next month.
