Life From The Roots
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.

3 I am sharing two stories (Putting My Lives Together and Two Different Car Trips Across America].
Two Different Car Trips Across America Although, I didn't write about it, I traveled twice, from coast to coast.
Putting My Livs Together. This blog tells you how I got got my life together with the help of selecting eight certain aspects of my life and writing about them.. It wasn't hard, because I lived in about 16 locations, went to four different 4th grades in 3 states, went two different high schools, was in the Army, and lived in one state for 20 years. When I was done writing, I printed out 300 pages.
