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.

Duck Boat Cruise Along the Charles River and Streets in Boston Massachusetts

The Duck Boat tour took us past the Boston Gardens and we saw the statue of George Washington. It was rather fun being so high up. This was taken on Arlington St. and Commonwealth Avenue on March 30, 2012. It was the first day for the Boats, and it was a beautiful day...no jackets on some of the men shown above.

Our State House location on Beacon Street. Opposite this is the well-known Shaw Memorial.

Charles River and the Leonard P. Zakim Bridge.
Prudential building in the center, and the Longfellow Bridge.



Museum of Science. This is where I began my tour (there are two other locations to board a Duck Boat).
