In Response To: Re: Ernest Roy LeMay (Karyn)

After working on the Orphan Train Riders to my hometown of Lawler, Iowa for 18 months, the best way to find anyone is the Census as long as you have an idea of the foster family name or know the Township they lived in. I found 17 Riders within a 10 mile radius of Lawler, Iowa from just one Census, the 1895 Iowa Census. So far, I have discovered the existence or possibilities of well over 100 children in Northeast Iowa alone. familysearch.org is a fantastic free site and that newspaper information from the previous post has been very valuable also. https://iagenweb.org/iowaoldpress/newspaperIAlist.html
