Where might I find information that would help me identify an orphanage? It may involve the word "Sunshine" and was in business in or near Fort Worth, Texas in the late 1960s.

The first thing I found was this mention in Google Books, a reference to a 1930's government publication. Dallas and Fort Worth are in the same county.

With that, I Googled "Dallas County Sunshine Home" and found a lot of links, including these. The others might be worth looking at also.
