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.

Virginia -- Old Matchbook Collection #4

 All in Alexandria (Old Town), Virginia.
The Seaport Inn and Old Club Restaurant are probably from the mid-70s.

 Most are in Fairfax County and near Alexandria and DC.

Miscellaneous Virginia.

I have decided to part with my matchbook collection, but before I throw them away, I thought I'd share them. Hopefully a few will bring back old memories. This is the largest group of matches I have, and they are grouped into Alexandria, surrounding Washington, DC, and the rest of the state. The reason I have so many is because I lived here for 20 years.
