Life From The Roots: Tyngsborough Public Library, Tyngsborough, Massachusestts -- (See The Resources for Genealogists)

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.

Tyngsborough Public Library, Tyngsborough, Massachusestts -- (See The Resources for Genealogists)

Tyngsborough Public Library is one small town away from me and has a population of about 12,000. Although the library is quite small, the large private genealogy room is worth a visit. It is in a building shared with the Town Hall, which makes it convenient to get vital records such as birth, marriage, and death certificates. Photos taken May 24, 2022, February 27, 2023, and September 2023. There is plenty of parking.

Carol Bacon was a past Library Director, who was very interested in genealogy and was a member of the genealogy club I was in. She had a major hand in getting the Special Collections Room established. We had a few genealogy meetings in this room. Outside, there is a nice bench in her honor (photo below.)

There is even a collection of the 1790 census books. I used to go to Boston to see these, before the internet.

The Mayflower Silver books are on the top shelf.
