Hello, I just decided I was going to write to "The Lowell Sun" this week to (again) request that they start a "Genealogy Column." Perhaps once a week; perhaps once a month. I was wondering if other people wanted to write to the newspaper, also. The more people who write the more they will take note ! I know there are "genealogy columns" in the newspapers in Maine - and Maritime Provinces of Canada. One I know about is posted in "The Bangor News." I can't think of the other articles at this second. Perhaps some of you can mention them. www.lowellsun.com www.bangornews.com I don't know "who" could be the author of a "Genealogy Column" for Lowell. Perhaps a member of the "Greater Lowell Genealogy Club" or the "Chelmsford Genealogy Club" could do it, or recommend someone. Betty (near Lowell, MA)

Hi Betty, I think your idea of a genealogy column is great! I was a beneficiary of one in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia last year, it is called "Roots to the Past" and is posted in the Lunenburg Progress Enterprise and the Bridgewater Bulletin, in Nova Scotia. They put a few paragraphs in about a family, and give your name and how to contact you. I found a whole missing branch of my tree that way last July and 48 new relatives, some of whom I will meet this year when I return to Nova Scotia.
