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.

On a Rainy Sunday Afternoon, Nothing is Better than Flowers!
I have written about the Stevens-Coolidge Place in North Andover, MA three times, the most recent post was last year when the estate had it's first open house. However, not all rooms were available to see. Last month, the house was open for it's "Rooms in Bloom" event, and going was a perfect thing to do om a gloomy Sunday afternoon. Good decision, because this time I got to see the pantry and kitchen. The local garden clubs had floral displays in each room, which brightened up the afternoon.
