There was an orphanage in the Sparta area in the late 1800's to 1900's. I've found out that several people in our famly line were left there. There were three Vining boys, Walter, Clarence and Henry. I do not know what happened to Clarence Vining, can anyone tell me if there are any records from this orphanage to see if he in fact was there with his brothers, and was adopted, as the other two boys were. I'm in contact with the children of Walter and Henry, and we are looking for descendants of Clarence, the oldest in a family of 4 children.
