I googled the name. There is a Little Sisters of the Poor in DC. They care for the aged, but may have taken in a child and helped her. You could contact them and ask about their history.

This was a Catholic children's home? The Episcopal church has religious orders as well. The Methodists and the Lutherans have also had religious orders of women known as "deaconesses," but I don't think they still do. (For instance, Deaconess Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, was founded by Methodist deaconesses.) The Little Sisters of the Poor run homes for elderly people. I don't know of any Catholic religious order or congregation in the U.S. known as "Sisters of the Poor." However, there are the "Sisters of Charity" and "Daughters of Charity." There would have been more than one Catholic orphanage/children's home in the Washington area at the time. Check with the archives of the Archdiocese of Washington. Their website is at http://www.adw.org. The Archdiocese includes portions of Maryland. Northern Virginia is now under the Diocese of Arlington (http://www.arlingtondiocese.org) , but would have been under the Diocese of Richmond in 1930. (The Diocese of Arlington was established in 1974.)

There was a Catholic orphanage in the northeast section of Washington, D.C. - St. Vincent's - I believe it was only for girls. The girls attended school at St. Anthony's at 12th & Monroe Street, N.E., DC On Mar 28, 2007, at 2:44 AM, ccraven wrote: > Was wondering if someone could answer a question for me please, > 1930 could that have been an home for children, mom remember being > left there with other sibling when parents split up?
