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.

Derry Public Library, Derry, New Hampshire -- (See The Resources for Genealogists)

 


I was anxious to visit this library on May 26, 2022, because I had heard of The New Hampshire Room. I have quite a few ancestors from New Hampshire, but I didn't do any research.

Most of my photos are of the New Hampshire room, but the next four are typical library pictures.

Plenty of computers above and DVDs and music below.



I was the only one in this room, so I took a lot of photos, hoping they would help a genealogist or researcher see what was there. Permission was given to me to be here. The website for this room is https://dplnhroom.wordpress.com/ Several categories are Local History, Genealogy, and Nutfield Research. I have two direct lines from New Hampshire, they are SECCOMB and WILDER, but a huge number of non-direct lines like Westover and Poole.
