orphans
How would one go about finding a family an orphan was placed with? Family name was Davito Gara in Roca Cse. Around 1860..they took in a young boy who later immigrated to the United states. No idea what the boys name was. Family had a son named Luigi Davito Gara with possible father Michel, sister Cristina. Other family members may have been Giovanni and Marietta.

Re: orphans
Depends on the type of records the town kept. Some places kept orphans separately and counted them as a family by themselves. Others listed them with the foster family. Church records were the same.
