One of my first history special interests was home children or Barnardo boys and girls in Victorian and Edwardian Canada. I can't believe there are 3 (?!?!) #MurdochMysteries episodes featuring them. My inner child is kicking her legs with glee right now.

Pier 21's website has some helpful resources
if you're interested in this topic.
(Pier 21 was one of the main ports of entry for
immigrants to Canada in the early to mid
1900s, sometimes compared to USA's Ellis

through this port in Halifax before it shut
down [including my beloved great
grandmother!] It later became a national
historic site).
