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.

The Potter line is another colonial Connecticut line of mine. The emigrant ancestor, William Potter was my 9th great-grandfather. Both his daughters were my 8th great-grandmothers. As usual, my direct lines are in All Caps. If you would like sources, please contact me.

 Note: This was revised on July 24, 2015, from my February 2013 posting, since I added about 10 new names and two new sources.
