If you have access to 'Discover your Ancestors', you can access my article about this family and the colony in Rugby, Tennessee.

#SailAwaySunday aboard RMS Empress of Britain as the Partridge family sail to Canada. They would return a few years later on the same ship. Before she was born, Mrs P's parents had lived for a while in Rugby, Tennessee as some of the first to move to the utopian colony.

I try hard to organise postcards as they arrive and those for my next project, Memories from the Future: Etched in Stone had been filed randomly in an album. They had to eventually come out and now they're in some kind of order. Or not.
