Hello People, Does anyone know if Cornelia Memorial Orphans Home in New Albany, Floyd Co. was an actual orphanage or a place for unwanted children? I'm researching Grace Kyees / Keys / Keyes b. abt 1884 in IN. The 1900 census lists a Grace Keys b. in 1885 as in inmate at this orphanage, however her possible family show to be living in Franklin Twp, Floyd Co. If this is the Grace that I'm looking for, wonder why she would be listed as an inmate at this orphanage. Thank you Kathy Irwin Odessa, TX USA condor@texasonline.net kathy1619@yahoo.com
