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.

Alameda, California -- Same House, Different Years

My mother and Steve Danko both took pictures of the same house. It is in Alameda, California and I lived here for 10 years, before moving to Connecticut, and then Massachusetts. In 2006, Steve mentioned he was going to Alameda, and he told me he would swing by and take an updated picture.  Since the house was for sale, he gave me the Real Estate link and I was able to take a visual tour of the rooms, and I was thrilled to see it. The San Francisco Bay was a short walk down the street.
