Hackensack NJ Orphanage on Essex St?
« on: April 11, 2007, 10:45:02 PM »
I am doing geneology research on behalf of my 82 year old father in law.  We are  seeking any information on orphanages that were in operation around 1930 or so.  He was placed in an orphanage or "welfare house" as he calls it back around  the Great Depression.  It would have been around 1930.  He believes it was located in Hackensack, NJ on Essex St.  It would have been a Catholic orphanage or an orphanage run by nuns.

Any information would be appreciated.

I believe that's now the "Conklin House" on Essex Street.
