Register of the Inmates of the Orphans’ Home- Book 2

From the Files of Virginia Aldridge

History Record [second Orphans Home Register] 1910
This is the second volume of records for the Warrick County Orphans Home. These images are the complete record with a date range from 1910 to the 1930s. This is a ledger with information across two pages. The second page tells where the children went when they left the home. I have used the second page to find specific children and trace them to adulthood. Because it is difficult to follow the information across two pages and accurately determine where the children went, I have cropped the pages and joined them to make it easier for me to research these children.

I cropped the left hand page right after the child’s 'Date of Birth column' and cropped the right hand page right before the 'Religion of the Parents' column. Now when one looks at the images of the pages one can easily determine where the children went when they left the home. Be sure to look for the child to return to the home and leave a second or third time.
You will find those cropped and joined pages on the bottom of the "History Record" page.
