Index of those Orphans brought to Iowa, containing name of child, adoptive parents and town. This list was originally compiled by Madonna Harms founder and coordinator of the original Orphan Train Riders to Iowa IAGenWeb Special Project. There are at least six different lists of Orphans who rode the trains to Iowa and beyond, which Madonna compiled during her time of researching the Orphan Train Riders to Iowa. Each list is an update from a previous list so the only thing I will be putting on line from these lists are the changes   I intend to get them all on line this year hopefully by summers end.
List #1:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M
N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

The entries marked with a * indicate the surname listed is the adopted surname.
