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.

Christmas Trees at the Big Rhode Island Estates

Many genealogy bloggers are spending the month of December writing about all aspects of Christmas. However, since I did that during the past two Christmas seasons, I've decided to post photos of some of the elegant trees taken recently, at two mansions in the Newport, Rhode Island area. Below are scenes from the Blithewold Mansion and the Marble House.
