Hi again, Vicki,

Sorry! The Anne T. we came up with was born in April... Shucks. So we`ll have to keep trying.

Today`s fosterchildren are hardly never family, but in earlier times relatives often took care of the less fortunate children in the family, or if a family had "too many" children other relatives with fewer or grown up children would help out - and these kids were registered as fosterchildren in the censuses. Today it is much like in the US.

Will keep trying on Anne T., hopefully we`ll get lucky!
