Name Index


Over the years, our members have researched and transcribed data that provides links to family information of interest to those with
British Isles and Canadian ancestry. Of particular interest are our extensive indexes of home children.


Data Sources for the Name Index


In the past, the results of BIFHSGO's data transcription have been presented in separate databases: one for each data source. These have now been combined into one nominal index that allows for searches across all databases.

When you search our nominal index, you will see a link to every record with that name from any of our data sources. Please read the Information and Finding Aid to learn about the data sources; this will help you efficiently focus your search efforts.

  • Our  Home Children records include indexes of materials related to children brought to Canada by various agencies—Barnardo’s, Children's Emigration Homes (Middlemore), Fegan Homes and Father Hudson. There is also a list of home children deaths.
  • The Military records include information about WW I soldiers who died at No. 1 Canadian Casualty Clearing Station, Foreign-Born Canadian Militia, Ottawa Sharp-Shooters and Rideau Canal Soldiers
  • Migration records include stories about Canadian war brides of World War II, British Women's Emigration Association immigrants and World War II unaccompanied child evacuees.
  • There is also a transcription of the Lancashire Diaries 1772-1910.
