New British Home Children database
Library and Archives Canada has announced the release of a new version of database listing the names of some 20,000 British Home Children sent to Canada from 1869-1930. The database is at www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/home-children/index-e.html, whilst John reid has the press release at http://anglo-celtic-connections.blogspot.com/2011/10/new-version-of-home-children-database.html
I've been searching the BHC data base at LAC for about 15 yrs., and used it for both my great-grandparents, and for helping other people. I preferred the data base - search feature - from 10 yrs. ago. I hope the .new. version of the data base is as easy to use.
