> While doing research today at the Grenville County Historical Society Resource Center, I came across this item in the minutes of the "Leeds & Grenville Counties Council held January 28---Feb. 1, 1896"..........
> "A petition was passed, addressed to the House of Commons of the Dominion of Canada, asking that the Government Bonus in aid of immigration of pauper children be discontinued. That such legislative measures be enacted as shall compel all societies or organizations for the immigration of pauper children into Canada, to retake and keep at the expense of said organization any of such children under the age of 18 years, who may be proved to be physically incapable of work or worthless or criminal and that such societies or organizations be required to guarantee all expenses to which Municipalities may be put by such criminal or useless immigrants. That there be a proper governmental supervision established over every child placed out on a community by said Immigration agencies or societies or otherwise."

When you are typing someone a letter and put an e-mail address in it, no matter what the address, if it is right or wrong, as long as it has the @ sign it will show up blue.Someone gave me barnardos e-mail address missing the s in barnardo. correct address was this is why I was having trouble getting it through but when it was sent back with a message - rejected by barnardos - that is what threw me off.

Was it common then for the home child to take on the "adoptive" family's name. One of my great aunts believes that is how her mother came by her Lindsay surname, but her birth certificate that she received from Glasgow, Scotland, lists her surname as Lindsay. In the 1891 census in Ontario, she is with the Miller family and she is listed as Lindsay, so I don't think she changed her name. She came over with the Quarriers organization. Could it have been Barnardos or another organization that required the "adoption" process?
