The Orphan Train is Coming March 11th!

Pomona Valley Genealogical Society will be presenting a Zoom meeting on Saturday, March 11th at 2:00pm. Len Enlow will be telling us about the Orphan Train Movement that took place between 1854 and 1929.

The Orphan Train Movement was a supervised welfare program that transported children from crowded Eastern cities of US to foster homes located largely in rural areas of the Midwest.

There were an estimated 30,000 children that left N.Y. City alone in the 1850’s by trains to the Midwest and a number ended up being used for farm labor.

Len Enlow is a well know, experienced and accomplished speaker in various electronic and genealogical fields. He is one of the founding members of Corona Genealogical Society, past president and publishes their societies newsletter. He has been interested in family history for about 50 years. He received his BSEE from Penn State and MSEE at Cal State, Long Beach.

This meeting will be online only open to anyone interested exploring their family history. For a link to Zoom to see this presentation please contact Raul Rodriguez at raulncal@aol.com.
