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.

Thankful Thursday -- A Good Habit

Betsy (Wright) Graves
My 3rd great-grandaunt
I have very few family photos, so when a distant cousin gave me permission to use his, I'm very thankful. Back in 2002, I corresponded with Dave regarding Jesse Wright and his daughter Betsy (Wright) Graves, see above. One of my best habits has been putting emails and addresses from people inquiring about a person in my tree, into my genealogy software Notes Section. So, when 9 years later somebody inquires about this line, I know to go to that person in the database and check the Notes Section to see if anybody else has that line.

Today, I did just that. It's nice to put the new person in contact with Dave, and I hope they have a connection. The other day, Dave was kind enough to give me permission to share his collection of photos, on flickr and the ones above are my first.
