Genealogy efforts related to Peter and Clarinda's story have been a challenge, but Peter's letters have provided extensive information and numerous clues. In almost every letter, including those from before the Civil War, he talks about members of both of their families and comments on reports in Clarinda's letters. Intimate details of family dramas emerge as one reads the letters chronologically.
