Anybody have any information on this school? I found a great-grandfather listed there. But can't find any information as to where the orphan's records are housed.

All of Pennsylvania Orphans records were sent to the last school remaining. Scotland School (Scotland) near Pittsburgh is suppose to have records. Who was your great grandfather and about when did he attend Harford / Soldiers Orphan School? I have some yearly books that list students (sixteeners) that are graduating from the schools, but not
all information is up on my site.

Mary Jean - could you email me please and send me any information you have on the three orphans that are discussed on your website "Letters from Orphans"? Orlando is my great great grandfather and I want to trace the family line further still. Thanks

The Letter was sent by a descendant of Wallace to place on my site. Click on Sandra at bottom of the site and email her.
You two would be related.

His name is Henry Booth. He was born in 1867, and was listed on the 1880 Census as living at the school. He stayed in Harford after leaving the school - he was originally from West Pittston. I don't know when he began attending.

Did you find any information on the Harford Orphans' School? I too have a female relative who was there in 1880. Will appreciate any suggestions you may have as to finding info on residents of this school.
