Orphanages

FINDING INFORMATION ABOUT ORPHANAGES THAT NO LONGER EXIST

You may discover that some of your ancestors were sent to orphanages. Some may have been true orphans, while others may have had parents who were too ill to care for them.

If you've run across an orphanage that no longer exists, consider doing the following:
- Check local libraries and genealogy societies to see if records
were donated.
- Check with the state social services to see if they have records of
the orphanage and if they can suggest where to write.
- Check with local county clerks and recorders to find out who the
property (and sometimes the records) were transferred to and if there
was a court proceeding to transfer the remaining residents to another
location.
-Orphanages had to comply with census laws, so check census records for
lists of residents. The information you'll find is sometimes
invaluable.
