Orphan train research helps find foster children "placed out" by train from New York City, or Boston to the Midwestern states, and to all other states, between 1854 and 1929. The genealogy of many of these 200,000 orphaned, abandoned, or homeless children can often be traced back to the Children's Aid Society, or the New York Foundling Hospital.
