The only tips for anyone considering doing it that I have been given via my contact who has arranged this anthology is that the editor would like more longer stories, he has many short ones but not a lot of longer ones. |

Can I just say it does not matter whether it was Middlemore Homes, Maria Rye, Salvation Army, Annie Macpherson, Catholic Emigration Association, Quarriers, Dr Barnardos, National Childrens Home, Fairbridge, YMCA, etc who brought your relative to Canada |

we are also building a comprehensive database on www.britishhomechildren.org of all child migrants sent to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc, anybody is welcome to add a child to the database or claim a child currently in there, at the moment there are 9385 children listed, some have a descendant listed in their 'record' on there but the majority do not, |

I think I have a homechild. Its just a family story. I have no documentation on the child, not even a definite census record. |

Thanks George, that looks promising. The dates match, as his sister was newly married when he disappeared(she married in 1902). |
