There are lists of orphanages from 1800s to recently and some indicate where to find them on different census records.. http://http://www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/Orphan/adopt.orph.html Liz From: cosette.58@hotmail.com To: nyc-roots@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [NYC-ROOTS] St. Joseph's Female Orphan Asylum, Brooklyn Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 20:19:47 -0500 Thanks Bobbi.
