How is this not documented in media somehow; movies, books, documentaries?

I actually met an elderly man who was on an orphan train fascinating story. He grew up to be a child psychologist and a successful one at that.

Heard of that. They need to bring back history in schools. Instead of erasing it.

I believe my grandmother was from the orphan train. We have no family history past her. Story has it she was raised by a neighbor lady after her parents passed away. Big Momma had no children and she took my grandma and raised her.

When I come across such dark historical stories on Tik Tok, I'll make a search on the topic and learn even more things. Everyday.

Just think how many of our great grandparents probably had a different last name and didn't know or just forgot. our original sir name is most likely not what we believe it to be.
