I have finally found someone I think is my late father, after years of trying to trace him.? He was sent to Nazareth Lodge in Belfast at the age of 4 and from there to St Columba's Industrial School, Killybegs, Co. Donegal at the age of 11.? My question is, is there any evidence of children from St Columba's being sent to Canada?? This would have been around the time of the First World War.? ? Any help would be much appreciated.
