Florence Crittenton Home for Girls, District of Columbia, 1900

All of the occupants of the home were white. Only one of the occupants was married, one was widowed, all others were single.

Unlike some of the Crittenton Home lists, the children here were listed separately from their mothers and were not given their mother’s surname. The first child is listed with the surname Crittenden (obviously an alias) but it is unclear whether the other children also used this alias as there are no ditto marks entered, with the space for surnames simply left blank. Also adding to the anonymity of the children, each one has the father’s birthplace and mother’s birthplace listed as the District of Columbia.
