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.

Bits of News

In USA Today, the daily newspaper, carries the Prime-time Nielsen ratings for television shows on Wednesday for the previous week. The show "Who Do You Think You Are" had 6.2 million viewers and ranked at #46. The show dropped a million viewers from the previous week.

Madonna and Ellen DeGeneres are 11th cousins, so says USA Today and Ancestry. Common ancestor, Martin Aucoin. Update, I saw The Ellen Show this morning and she mentioned other well-known people she is related to. And tried to pronounce the New England Historical and Genealogical Society, also stated they had already done her genealogy.
