1850 Census - Orphans and Stepchildren

1850 Census - Orphans and Stepchildren 1850 Comal County Orphans, Step-Children, and Children Living with Others but not listed as Orphans or Step-Children. I was looking for something in the Comal Census when I came across all these Orphans and I thought it might be of some value for those doing research on their families. I hope it helps. Wanda
