I have one book by Marianna O'Gallagher, Grosse Ile Gateway to Canada 1832-1937". It contains excerpts from registers of deaths, vessels, return of valuables but most valuable it has a list of orphans from 1847 and 1848. The list contains 619 names, along with the names of the people who adopted them. There is the orphan name, age, date of entry, father, mother, parish, county, vessel and who took them in, or in many instances the day they died. I have it listed as a look up source on our "Irish Acts of Kindness Page" on our website. The names are alphabetical so if anyone is looking for the possibility that their ancestor was orphaned at Grosse Ile and could have taken another name I would be happy to check the list.
