Description
Learn how to trace your orphan ancestors! Dvorah Lewis, local history and genealogy librarian at Sutro Library, shares strategies to find these ancestors through a variety of records, including go-to genealogical records, like census and city directories, as well as the types of records created by the orphanages themselves from annual reports to internal newsletters. Researching orphanage records is what originally sparked Dvorah's interest in conducting her own genealogical research.
