Subject: Orphan Train 'riders' Date: Sat, 8 May 1999 21:15:35 -0500 From: "Bill & Donna Harms" <wmmharms@ncn.net> To: <njennings@lisco.net> There were a number of children brought to your county from New York from 1853-1929. Our home is the Iowa Research Center about the 10-12,000 children who were brought to Iowa. I am searching for information about these children . Also, there will be an Iowa Orphan Train Reunion for 'riders, descendents & interested persons to be held in Ft.Dodge,Iowa 20,21 & 22 August 1999 at the Budget Host Inn. I will appreciate it if you would announce this at your meetings &/0r in your newsletter. Any one with information may contact me at wmmharms@ncn.net Thank you, Madonna M. Harms, Archivist
