Your thread might have better exposure online if you go in to the original query and modify the subject line to read as mine does, as those descendants searching for information will be more likely to find it. Many home children did not pass on the information that they were BHC, some ashamed of having been sent away from their country of birth, or of how they were treated once they arrived.
Thankyou, R.K. for pointing to the rootschat help links, I will also add John Joshua Boggis to the list of rootschat home children...& refer to this thread.
