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.

Sentimental Sunday -- Not Father, But Grandfather


I don't have a single photo of me and my father, or a new one that hasn't been shown before, so I chose to show this one with my grandfather, Clarence F. Poole. My sister and I were visiting my grandparents in Evanston, Illinois.The note on the back, written by my mother, says it all. We were once again moving.


(My mother made the coats, I got pockets and a cape on mine.)
