My dad and his siblings were put into childrens homes in the early 1930's. My dad left our family and haven't seen him since I was about 3-4 (so can't remember him). I'm trying to trace him now. Does anyone know if I would be able to access any children's homes records as he didn't stay in our lives. I think he was in a National Children's Home home. |

If you are trying to find his whereabouts now try asking for an electoral roll look up on the records office board. If you wish to find his records with national childrens homes you need to go to |
