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.

17 Georgia O'Keeffe All About Her in 3 Posts. (My 4th Cousin, Once Removed. Both my Parents are Related to Heer!)



In January 2018, I visited an exhibit called, Art, Image and Style, an excellent showing of Georgia O'Keeffe's life, artwork, and clothes. I wrote a blog about this visit, and you'll be able to see the pictures at Georgia O'Keeffe, The Website was a Gem, and Oh Her Clothes. At the time I always try to do some research on the topic prior to posting. Naturally, I checked out the website for the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. One of the things that interested me the most was the Timeline of her life, something genealogists should do, I believe. Both of my parents have the Ten Eyck line, and one has the Wyckoff line, both names mentioned in the first timeline entry for 1887. I felt I needed to share this information for those who might be interested.
