Pages

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.

Asking For Help

First, I am sorry that some of you may have seen a duplicate post this morning. That being of the Descendants of  James Cutler. I was making some changes in it, which was posted last week, October 16th. So when I was done, I assumed it would go back into the October 16th slot, but instead it was posted and I was very surprised to see it in the dashboard.


Two questions, am I the only one who can see it in this morning's dashboard? And if not (and you can see it), how do I get around this problem. I have a lot of the Surname Saturday posts I would like to update, and I don't want all of you to be bothered with seeing them again. Many thanks for any help.

Top Ten -- Hints

Use the same notebook for all your genealogy conference, seminar or lecture notes. (It is fun to go back several years and be reminded of what you were taught.)  Be sure to date it, and write the name of the lecture and speaker's name. Unfortunately, I didn't do that, otherwise, I would have given this person credit. The below 10 Hints were from my notebook.


As I find more hints, from my notes, I will add them to this list.

1. "Genealogy without sources is called junk."


2.  Spinsters can be married; it doesn't mean single, unmarried or an old maid. She is responsible for herself.* Please see Martin Hollick's message in the comments section below.


3.  The word, Consort, can be male or female, husband or wife. It is a companion or partner.


4.  About 25% of men left a will, and 60% had their estate probated.


5.  Newspapers are an excellent source for marriages, especially if a courthouse burned.


6.  A lot of widows remarried with one year.


7.  Wills can be in deed books.


8.  Many public records have wrong spelling.


9.  The settlement of an estate is the most valuable record, because of the names.


10.  Almost all the records in the United States were for men.
