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.

Pelham Public adcxLibrary, Pelham, New Hampshire -- See The Resources for Genealogists


 

The Pelham Public Library in New Hampshire was the first library I visited in over three years. I chose this because I learned it was new, I knew the assistant director and it wasn't far from my Massachusetts residence, I knew the area. Photos taken on April 18, 2022.

Since Pelham is a small town, 14,000 people in 2018. I didn't expect the library to have a lot in the way of history/genealogy books. Below are what I found. I was told the Historical Society was active and had a lot of material. However, it was closed on this day.

The books are kept in the cabinet shown below. It is very near the reference desk as you enter the building.








The library used to be in the building that is now the Pelham Historical Society.
