Källinformation
Nevada, barnhusregister, 1870–1920
The records in this database contain name of the child, age and place of birth, the dates of admission and discharge. Some records also contain adoption or indenture information.
The information contained in this database is taken directly from the Admissions Book. There were some discrepancies noted as they relate to ages and birth dates. Additionally, some of the entries are confusing. For the most part, the information was filled in as the child arrived and departed from the orphanage and should reflect the information provided to the Home by either the surviving parent, child or the country sending the child to the facility.
Additional information on the Home and the records are available at the Nevada State Library and Archives in Carson City, Nevada.
