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.

The Fells Estate, near Mt. Sunapee, Newbury, New Hampshire

The Fells
Route 103A in Newbury, New Hampshire

The Fells, the name of a historic estate and gardens, a great summer retreat of John Hay (1838-1905), statesman, poet and diplomat.

The link below, from The Fells has many lovely photos of the gardens and the house. Unfortunately, I haven't toured the house yet, and that is why there are no interior photos.

Love the pink lady slippers.




If you sat at the above bench, you would see the view below.
