"Orphan Trains and the Children Who Rode Them" By Karen A. Fortin
The story of the Orphan Trains, which relocated children from the eastern cities
to rural farmlands, has become a part of American popular culture. This presentation
explores the facts behind the legends, follows a group of children "placed-out"
in 1880, and provides information on resources available to learn more about the
orphan trains and their riders.
Karen A. Fortin has degrees in History and Library Science and a passion
for research. She is a member of various genealogical societies and loves to help
people explore their family's history and the world in which they lived.

 Profile
of a Quaker – Finding a Friend in Colonial America
by Steven Morrison, MPA
The profile of a Quaker (Religious Society of Friends) can be as distinctive as
a fingerprint. By the 1750s, Quakers were the 3rd largest religion in colonial
America and kept excellent records. Learn key profiling techniques so you can
spot the Quaker in your family tree.
Steven W. Morrison, MPA, is past-president of the Puget Sound APG Chapter,
adjunct faculty at The Evergreen State College graduate program for seven years,
and coordinator and instructor of a course on Quakers at 2018 SLIG & 2020
GRIP. In 2016, he received the American Society of Genealogists (ASG) scholar
award for his paper “Quaker John Starr of Antrim and Cavan, Ireland and his
five sons who sailed to Pennsylvania.” |
