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.

Revolutionary Soldiers Buried in Woburn, Massachusetts

I went to the First Burial Ground in Woburn, Massachusetts in April 2015, for the purpose of finding some ancestors. One possible ancestor, and several family member's stones were located. On this cold windy day, I walked quickly and took quite a few photos. Along with the cemetery stones, I photographed the memorial marker for the Revolutionary War soldiers buried there. Eleazer Flagg Poole was my first cousin 6 times removed.
