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.

Where are Some Participants of the Boston Tea Party Buried?


Earlier this March, my husband and I played tourists in Boston. Although there was snow on the ground, it was a nice day for plenty of walking. I came across a sign at King's Chapel Burying Ground listing many of the participants of the Boston Tea Party, so I decided to show the cemeteries where they were buried. The first three listed are very near each other, but because of the snow, we didn't walk through them. The last photo was taken in the summer and is a distance away. Last year I did a post, "How Do You Find Your Ancestors in the Boston Cemeteries?" This post tells you exactly how to see if your ancestors were buried in Boston and in which cemetery.
