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.

Watertown Book, with Map and List of Burials at the Arlington Street Burying Ground

There was quite a surprise found in the above book, and one could have helped me in April before I called the Watertown, Massachusetts Cemetery department to help me with finding the burial of Samuel Jennison. If I had had the above book, and enclosed map, I would have had what I needed. Below is a copy of the very fragile pull-out map, that fell apart in two as I opened it, and a listing of those who were buried there (numbers corresponding with the map).

I've typed up only the surnames, and you can see one of three pages to get the given names. The below alphabetical listing shows the corresponding grave number on the map.
