This just-published book from Gloria Tubman is a deeply personal look at the British Home Children immigration program through the lens of her own family history. “British Home Children to Canada – Three Sisters from Kensington and Chelsea Union” traces the lives of three sisters, Florence, Caroline and Annie Bond, who came to Canada as child migrants in the late 19th/early 20th century.
Beyond being an engaging true story, the book is case study for others researching their British Home Child ancestors. Gloria’s 30 years of research experience uncovers a wealth of records – from a London Union workhouse to a Canadian receiving home – that shed light on the sisters’ experiences before, during, and after their emigration. By weaving together these disparate sources, she is able to document the sisters’ lives well beyond the typical 16 years of age that most records cover.
Gloria’s own family connection brings together the elements covered in the extensive bibliography and research appendix which are a valuable reference for fellow genealogists and historians.
