NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/McDowell/634 Surname: ------------------------- Can anyone please reply direct to me and tell me about an orphanage that was/is in McDowell County. I had family in this orphanage around the turn of the century 1900. The only info I have is "El-Hanon" this may not be the correct spelling. Thanks for a reply. Betty
