A search is underway
for the families of up to 15,000 vulnerable children from Scotland’s
children’s homes who were shipped to Canada in a programme of forced
emigration and cheap labour that lasted almost 100 years.
Researchers in Canada are supporting families to secure the records of those transported by charities, including Quarriers and Barnardo’s, as part of the British Home Children programme that lasted from 1863 until the 1970s.
