Following are the subject families in the Arthur Soper Wardwell Collection at the Brooklyn Historical Society. Arthur Soper Wardwell, F.A.S.G. (1883-1970), was a Brooklyn genealogist whose extensive correspondence with Herbert Furman Seversmith survives in the Seversmith Manuscripts (see Newsletter 4:3:21). Each family file in the Wardwell Collection may contain any number of pages—from one to over 200. The entries are handwritten and on small slips of paper. The collection has not been microfilmed and, since it is a manuscript collection, the Brooklyn Historical Society does not permit photocopying. Generally, the notes on a family are alphabetized by the first name; therefore, one can find more easily the particular household of interest.
