Great presenter, an interesting story, well delivered with much to think about.
Interesting double generation adoption possibilities make you think too. The numbers are staggering, so many children lost to conventional genealogy and so difficult to find on paper.
Consequences of war – so many men in the First World War never came back, they chose to leave what they had left behind and start a new life elsewhere.
What a story! Thanks for the photographs in trying to explain the generations – it was helpful.
Excellent case study with a tons of research tips.
Even though I have no familial connection to the Orphan Train children, I find it a fascinating and tragic story. The research process used was a great model to follow and I thank Ms. Koester for so generously sharing her methodology with us.
Every webinar helps with ideas for mine family information gathering. Thanks
I read the OrphanTrain book that she mentioned. Very interesting, as well as her presentation.
Interesting topic. Always enjoy learning new things.
I do not have a ancestor who rode the Orphan Train. I found Nancy’s Case Study using DNA, most interesting. Thank you!
