Hello Listers,I am searching for a young (then) relative believed to have been transported to Australia about 1918. I hope I'm not belabouring the subject of HOME BOYS, but I'm aware the List is very knowledgeable on this subject. Therefore, may I ask - Would a HOME Child have to be a minimum age before the HOME would send he/she abroad ? Were HOME children ALWAYS sent abroad ? Did the various Homes favour a particular country for their children ? Many thanks. Frank, Manitoba.

Hi Frank The one I've researched went to Canada The Home were able to provide records to his descendants If you don't know which Home etc I'd suggest subscribe to <http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/CAN/BRITISHHOMECHILDREN.html> Ron Lankshear -Sydney NSW (from London-Shepherds Bush/Chiswick) try my links http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lankshear/
