Hi Sue, I didn't see the original question, but I thought I'd mention that some of the "Home Children" ships were forced to come into Portland, Maine, during the winter. And probably a few come into Boston, MA. I was just trying to find a child in a BHC data base this week, and saw a child mentioned where the ship came into Portland. And, I can remind researchers that there is ship information in that BHC data base. And, you can search for "ship name only." http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/home-children/index-e.html http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/home-children/001015-100.01-e.php Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) (Home Children arrived between 1860's and 1940's.) OOPS. I just noticed the original question at the bottom of this message. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue Swiggum" <swig@ns.sympatico.ca> To: "Hans Faber" <hans.faber@planet.nl>; <theshipslist@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 6:24 PM Subject: Re: [TSL] Winter stop > Hello Hans, >
