Life From The Roots

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.

Two Blog Posts about Jack Kerouac, born in 1922 in Lowell.

I'm sharing two blog posts about Jack Kerouac today because this is the month of his death, and there are several Lowell events being held about his life. Click on the links below and the other photos will appear.

UPDATE January 2022: A Jack Kerouac museum is on the road to reality in Lowell, MA. Note: Since I live in Lowell, I plan on taking a photo of the church when winter is over.
