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.

SAMUEL MANNING
AGED 67 YEARS
WHO DEPARTED
THIS LIFE FEBR
22ND 1710.

I had a lot of difficulty getting a sharp image. The FindAGrave picture, shown as last photo below is razor sharp clear, so my problem must have been the lighting. The photo above is darker because I sprayed it with water, the original, without water is below.



Samuel was my 8th great-granduncle. I wrote about the house he built in 1696 (below) recently.
