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.

Elizabeth Johnson -- Tombstone Tuesday


Elizabeth Johnson Mead Sanger
Born:  November 07, 1751, Lynn, Essex Co., Massachusetts
Died:  March 19, 1799, Dublin, Cheshire Co., New Hampshire
Elizabeth Johnson was my 5th great-grandmother (her parents are brick walls).

Correction: From my original post of November 2, 2010, I stated Elizabeth's birth year as 1751, it should be 1750. In addition, her parents are no longer brick walls. With the help of a professional genealogist and historian, he discovered her parents were William Johnson and Elizabeth Wiley. These discoveries were made last week, and since tomorrow is the anniversary of her death, I thought I would repost this blog post.


Elizabeth's stone is directly in the middle.
Abner Sanger was the husband of my 5th great-grandmother, Elizabeth Johnson Mead.
I wrote about his journals, see Very Poor and of a Lo Make.
Abner is buried at the Washington Street Cemetery in Keene, New Hampshire.
