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.

NEHGS: An Improvement and FREE

The New England Historic Genealogical Society entrance has had a face lift. Last photo shows how it looked two weeks prior.




Now you must be wondering what is FREE. The Society will be free to all this coming Friday, July 8th.
When I was there a few days ago, I saw a flyer, and saw that the Highland Street Foundation is providing many free open houses this summer. This is an especially good day, as they are offering free entrance to:

PLIMOTH PLANTATION
137 Warren Ave – Plymouth
WORCESTER ART MUSEUM
55 Salisbury St. – Worcester
CAPE COD MUSEUM OF ART
60 Hope Lane - Dennis
NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
99 Newbury Street - Boston

Normally it cost $15 a day per non-member of NEHGS, so this is a good deal if you want to check out the library, without paying. Anybody want to meet me there?
