Join members of the Wellington County Branch, Ontario Ancestors and the Guelph Public Library’s Archivist to learn more about British Home Children. Perhaps you recently learned that an ancestor was a British Home Child. Join this workshop to learn what led to the development of the child migration program, how children became involved and the major organizations involved in sending children to Canada. What happened once the children arrived in Canada and the resources available for researching British Home Child ancestors will also be discussed.
