Does anyone know of any Children's Homes/Orphanages in Newburgh in 1880? I found a Children's Home in 1900 at 18 High Street but cannot find them in the 1880 census. I'm searching for an August Blumberg who was born between 1874 and 1880. His father deserted the family in 1880 and his mother died 6 months later. Newburgh city clerk has no record of his birth. The only mention I have of his existence is from a 1941 obituary saying that at that time he was living in Alberta Canada. I've written letters to all the Blumberg listings I could find in the Canadian telephone book with no luck. I've corresponded with the Alberta Genealogical Society and they give me no hope of finding him. This is one brick wall I don't think I will ever break through or get around. Thank you for any replies. Marge If you want to hear the angels . . listen with your heart.
