Information Pieces

During the course of researching to write the Waters family history book, By Sea, By Land, author Suzanne Paschall organized information by subject, which turned out to provide some interesting material in itself.

We call these Information Pieces, and have assembled them as a portion of the archives. We will use content from these to write blog posts, and they provide a handy aggregate to topical content through the course of the letters, as well as other research.

Want to know what all Thomas Sr. said about diet & nutrition? Money[1]? Faith? Are you interested in what life was like in Georgian and Victorian England as it pertained to the Waters family? We’ll be posting pieces on breast-feeding, illegitimacy, the slave trade[2], religious reformation and many more! You’ll be notified of new pieces as they’re uploaded by the newsletter, so if you haven’t yet, sign up on the right!
