Orphan train research helps find foster children between 1853 and 1930 who rode trains from [[New York City, New York|New York City]], [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]], or [[Chicago, Illinois|Chicago]] to new homes in other states or Canada. 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]], among others.[[Image:{{NOTCopen}}]] <br><br> | Orphan train research helps find foster children between 1853 and 1930 who rode trains from [[New York City, New York|New York City]], [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]], or [[Chicago, Illinois|Chicago]] to new homes in other states or Canada.
