Pages

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 -- All About Names Beginning with My Father to Generation 6

Surname Saturday is all about names. We can write about one person, our family, another unrelated family or even about a person who is a brick wall. Just about anything goes. Last week's post "Numbers on the Tree" proved to be an eye-opener, because after I posted it, I printed out my entire tree, thanks to RootsMagic4. Not only was I able to see whom I'm missing, but I saw the Location Report was a total mess, and nothing at all professional looking (I will deal with this problem later).

I am listing my first five generations, not to impress anybody but to hopefully get a cousin connection. Most of my readers are finding me through google searches because they want information on a surname they are looking for, a report about a historic site, a certain cemetery, the DAR, NEHGS, a historical society, a location, or something about a celebrity or murder. So, it goes without saying, if you happen to find my site, and have any of these names, I would love to hear from you. This Generation List will be continued next week.
