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.

Want Santa Gifts from Lowell, Massachusetts?

There are great gift ideas in the gift shop in the Lowell National Historical Park building on Market Street. Free parking available from the Dutton Street entrance. Do note, there is a lot of construction, but you should be fine. The shop is open year-round, but they seem to have more items than ever before. I visited the visitor's center recently and decided to take these photos to give everybody an idea of what they have. Christmas is quickly approaching, and if you like to touch and see your items before wrapping, why not spend your money in Lowell?


Lowell made dish towels. How cool is this?




A lot of games and toys for children.



Variety of books about Lowell, some by Lowell authors.




"Lowell" clothing.
