Probably you've already tried this, but I typed in "children's home" + Norwalk , in the search box and got quite a few, from Korea to Connecticut, but there were some in Ohio. After looking at them a phone call might be a possibility. Heritage quest lists the 1930 census as something you can browse. To make it a little easier you would need to know which ward the childrens home is in - there are 4. From there you could prove he was there. That might give you a bit more clout if you then went back to the children's home. Also have you tried social security ? Jessie Deith
