Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to the Waters Family Project website, where we share the history of the Waters and Hewson families, as well as some of the interconnected lines.

I’m Margaret (Hewson) Rigetti, and I have the honor of sponsoring the development of this website as well as the other part of this project, the family history book By Sea, By Land.

I hope that for whatever reason you visit, you find what you are looking for. If not, please contact me and I’ll see if I can help. Likewise, if you have family information that you’d like to add to the digital archive, I’d be thrilled to talk to you about that.

Please click on the “Archives” button to see the various categories of materials in the archives, and what you can search for. And click on “By Sea By Land Book” page to learn more about By Sea, By Land and to download a PDF copy, or talk to me about getting a hard copy. 

I’m always looking for keen family volunteers to take on some of the tasks of adding more information to the website (we have a lot more than is currently here!), or to consider researching one of our Unsolved Mysteries.

There’s a lot to discover here, so pull up a comfortable seat, pour a cup of tea, and enjoy!
