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.

Jennison of Massachusetts

My Jennison line is from England and they settled in Watertown, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts before 1637. This is a recently discovered line, and I'm happy to add this family to my tree. As in the past, my direct lines are in All Caps. I will be glad to share what I used as sources.

 Note: This was revised on July 24, 2015, from my April 2015 posting, since I added eight new names and used quite a number of new sources.
