Surnames: Johnson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/7aB.2ACEAE/924.1 Message Board Post: Hello. You didn't state whether your great-grandfather was an adult or a child when he migrated to Canada. If he could have been a child or a teen-ager, you might want to learn about the "British Home Children." http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~britishhomechildren/ I just checked the BHC Data Base at the NAC web site, and there were over 280 "Home Children" with the surname, JOHNSON. I didn't spot a Louis JOHNSON, but I did see several Frederick JOHNSON's.
