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.

Please, no more

Several days have been spent thinking about the Awards issue. I say issue, because quite a few people don't believe in them, and some do. Now, is the time to let you know how I feel about them. About three years ago, like a chain letter, various awards were given to bloggers who were felt to be deserving of an award. When I saw that a lot of good writers were being left out, I felt uncomfortable about receiving the ones I did, so I didn't participate. However, I did recognize the 30 people who honored me with one or more awards, including two well-known certified genealogists, by mentioning their names and their own blog name/link.

 During that time, I also received some special awards, including being one in their top 100 genealogy sites awarded by MyHeritage and The Rose Blogger Award by Lucie LeBlanc Consentino. You may see all the names and links of these kind people at Awards.

 With sincere appreciation and gratitude, I want to thank the three bloggers listed below for the four new awards. Please visit their blogs, if you haven't already done so.
