LIFE FROM THE ROOTS: Mar 13, 2012

Welcome to my Genealogy Blog.

Why not spend a minute or two at my Blog to see if there is anything interesting to read. Perhaps I've written something about your ancestor, gave a hint on how to locate something, provided a different way to do research, or just gave a glimpse into the world of genealogy research through words or photos. I try to make it light and enjoyable.

My roots are from New England (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire), New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wyoming, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada.

Please check out the labels on the right side for articles. The header tabs at the top are a work in progress.

I also have a blog called Seeing New England. Why not visit it, to get a feeling for the area.

Jack's Birthday "On The Road"

Jack Kerouac Memorial in Lowell, Massachusetts

Wikipedia has a huge write-up about Jack, who was born in Lowell 90 years ago (yesterday), and is buried in Lowell (see below).

In the spring, I hope to take better photos, before the trees are full.

Directions to Jack's marker at Edson Cemetery, Lowell, MA.
