Frances, Was the Buffalo Orphan Asylum on Delaware Avenue? We have a woman here in the Youngstown area (born 1904) whose mother was adopted out of that orphanage. I would assume that would have been ca 1880. She's in ill health and it would be marvelous if she or her family could get some information on her mother's surname. vee housman > > I found some of the records for the Buffalo Orphan Asylum at the Buffalo > and Erie County Historical Society.
