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.

December 7, 2015---From the Lowell National Historical Park facebook page.

At Lowell National Historical Park, and all across the country, flags fly at half staff in honor of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. On December 7, 1941, some fifty Lowell natives were stationed in the Pearl Harbor area. Sadly, three became the city’s first casualties of World War II.
Private Arthur Boyle, a 23 year-old aviation mechanic from the Highlands and son of famed Lowell boxer "Phinney" Boyle, was lost at Hickham Field while trying to get U.S. airplanes out of their hangars. Seaman First Class Clifton Edmonds, a 24 year-old motorcycle enthusiast from Centralville who worked at the gas station at Bridge and 4th Streets, was lost aboard the USS Curtiss as it fought off attacking planes just outside of ‪#‎PearlHarbor‬. Chief Water Tender John Targ was born and raised in Lowell and moved to California in the 1930s, though much of his family remained in Lowell. He was working on the boilers of the USS Arizona when it exploded, and Targ, along with 1,102 of his shipmates, is entombed in the wreck of the ship at the USS Arizona Memorial.
We honor their memory and sacrifice and the memory of all who perished that day."

Corey, from Quebec, Canada to California -- Surname Saturday

I was very happy to hear from Ed McGowan in April, 2013, when he  located me online by using the name of Jane Elizabeth Rosenberger. Jane had married Reuben Corey, both were from Missisquoi County in Quebec, an area where many of my ancestors were from. They were his great-grandparents. Jane Elizabeth Rosenberger was my 2nd cousin 3x removed.

Reuben Corey 1838-1914 was married to Jane Elizabeth Rosenberger 1844-1902. What's unusual is they were both born in the same area in Quebec, married in Vermont and migrated to southern California, had three children there, then died in California.

The Corey line was added into my tree and perhaps this information will help somebody.
