The story of the Orphan Trains is not only true, but sadder than realized in most cases. Not all of the children were 'adopted', and I have no idea what became of them. Some of them found good homes, but most were used as child labor.

Most of my ancestry came from Scotland, Ireland, the Netherlands, border Britain and Switzerland. They came for all reasons: adventure, families too large for all the kids to have a piece of land, political prisoners or dissedents, hunger, religous persecution. Some prospered, some didn't. One thing common to all: they retained and passed down through the generations a love of the old country.
