Topic: The History and Background of Orphan Trains
Time: 1:30 - 2:30 PM
Michael lives in the Boston area and is both a genealogist with many years of experience, and a private investigator as well. He will be speaking about the history of orphan trains, by which orphaned children were sent west to be adopted by families, some loving and caring, some at the other end of the spectrum, simply looking for free labor.
