I thank you very much.  One of the addresses is within a half hour of my own home, I will try that one first.  Another is within less than two hours of home.

I'm glad you have had success.
My grandmother was went through the Catholic Emigration people.  I have no idea how to contact them, does anyone know of a website, address or phone number that I might try?

the only thing is she has lots of info it tells which homes he was in before he went and lots about him and has photos and everything
So maybe its worth it ,thats if they will let you have them ,they told me I have to prove they never had families of their own for all the reccords.
Might try again as I'd like to know why they were there when their mother was alive ????



What group was the application for information sent to please? If it's different from the one I used I might try it as well. It would be worth the money if I can get past the block on my grandmother's side of the family tree!

Hello, I'm new to this as I have only just registered with Rootschat. My maternal grandmother was a home child, she never talked about it.
I have also contacted a Canadian group that claims to help, but I have never received so much as an acknowledgment of the request for information that I sent in.
 I was able to find out which ship she came over on, the home children project was a shameful way to treat children..............I have also seen the Lost Children TV show........many were no more than slaves to the people that "bought" them.
