The following information comes from the following LDS Family History Library microfilm: 1) Indentured children 1844-1883 A-W - Film #1613065 Item 2 2) Indentured children, series 2 1852-1886 Heitmeier, Charles - Young, John - Film #1683718 Item 2 The number after the date tells you which film it was on. Documents on the film usually included the agreement documents between the parties involved. This is a list of indentured children for Des Moines County, Iowa. Indentured basically means they were hired out or apprenticed in some way. To the left is an example of the agreement the Children's Aid Society used. This was one way a young adult could get placed in Iowa, whether they were an orphan or not. If you have any further information on these children, please let us know about it.
