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.

Kelley Public Library, Salem, New Hampshire (See The Resources for Genealogists)

 

Kelley Public Library
234 Main St, Salem, NH 03079

(Note: Parking is on the back.)

On May 23, 2022, I made my first visit to this library and I was pleasantly surprised for two reasons. First, the library was huge and had a lot of large windows providing sunlight and views. Second, it had a well-equipped history/genealogy room.



This Kelly Room has one of the largest collections of genealogy and history books, as you can see by my many photos. I enlarged quite a few so genealogists can read the titles.

Lawrence is in Massachusetts and almost borders Salem, New Hampshire.











The following photos are on the lowest floor. There is an exit to the parking lot.



View to the Library from the back entrance where I parked. I've never had a prettier view while at a library.
