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.

Surname Saturday -- Wilcoxson of CT and MA

The Wilcoxson line is another old Connecticut and Massachusetts line. It has been spelled as Willcoxson, and in later years as Wilcox. William Wilcoxson, my first generation, and his wife Margaret had nine children, I descend through three of their children. My direct lines are in green and if you would like sources, please write.
