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.

Bright Boston Lights at Christmas


Nice site describing Quincy Market.
The Christmas tree lit up while we were there, showing many colored bulbs, gold (above), all green or all red and later multi-colors.

It was beginning to get dark, so I took this photo from the State House, overlooking a part of the Boston Common. My husband has never been in the building, I enjoyed giving him a tour. I was in the area for a specific reason, and I'll blog about it at another time. The great sunset, Christmas lights, cold, good meal and bright moon were all bonuses. The temperature was about 17 degrees. We walked about two miles, and I didn't feel the cold...much.
