Database - child migration to Canada (1869-1930)

Libraries and Archives Canada has released a database of over 100,000 juvenile migrants who were sent to Canada from Great Britain during the child emigration movement between 1869 and the late 1930's. The majority of these "Home Children" were orphaned, abandoned or paupers, sent out by churches and philanthropic organisations such as Dr Barnado's Home.
