Pages

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.

Generation 8, A Listing of my Ancestors -- Surname Saturday

This post is a continuation from my previous post covering Generations 1-7. Below is my eighth generation of direct line ancestors. If you were to print it out using the numbered chart shown below, all the males (father, grandfather, great-grandfathers and so forth) would be above their wives who would have the even numbers on the chart. This type of chart or listing as done below is called an ahnentafel chart (see various examples on that link). The following Saturday, I will continue with generation 9.
