I am looking for the whereabouts of the case files for the children 'out placed' by the Pennsylvania Children's Aid Society between 1909 -1920's. Is there an index of these children? I know at one time the Pennsylvania Historical Society had some of these case files. Do they still? I have a good friend whose father was placed with a family (Mennonite, I think), and he never knew his parents. His father is now passed on, and my friend would like to know who his grandparents were. Any help locating these files would be greatly appreciated.
