    1. [MOJASPER] orphan train rider research
    2. MB Counts
    3. hi all, has anyone done any searhing in this area on orphan train riders. I'm searching for info on George F. O'Connor, likely indentured as a rider around 1888. Lived with the Winn family...noted in family info ...lived in Scammon and Webb City. I understand that usually indenture papers were filed with the local court in situations like this. I know that in his case he wasn't adopted, his name stayed the same and he was about 11 years old when he went to live with them. Has anyone ever found such a thing at the courthouse? would greatly appreciate any help, lookups, ideas, suggestions regarding this. thanks and good luck in your searching! MaryBeth
