These are adoptions
in Webster County, Iowa. The book and page numbers refer
to "Miscellaneous Books". These are NOT all orphans who
were Orphan Train Riders placed out by orphanages or other
organizations. We hope, by placing this info online, it
can lead to more information on those who were Riders. If
you any additional information on these children, I hope you
will contact us.
