    1. Orphanage or Children's Home in Berkeley County about 1900-1910 - Lena Freeze
    2. I have a brick wall evolving around my Grandmother Lena Freeze who married my Grandfather Joseph Snyder on February 18, 1920. Lena is first found in the May 10th 1910 Census in Hedgesville District of Berkeley Co., West Va. living in the home of Robert S Noll and is listed as 10 years old, birth place unknown, with both parents listed as being born in West Virginia. It states she is from the ORPHAN'S HOME. Lena is next recorded in the 1920 Census, as a servant in the home of Robert S Noll in Hedgesville District in Berkeley Co., West Va. and is listed as being born in Ohio. Birth place of parents was crossed out. There are a number of FREEZE families in the area but none that I can find that tie them to Lena. I am looking for someone that knows something about the orphanages in this area and possibly where to seek further information through court records, etc. I am 68 years old and hope to resolve Lena's family links while I am still "here". I am willing to provide some compensation for the efforts toward this problem. Robert Longbottom 1288 Suffield Oaks Lane Mogadore, Ohio 44260 330-628-4435
