New York Foundling Asylum Certificate of Indenture August 20, 1894


I've been meaning to post my grandfather's certificate of indenture from the New York Foundling Asylum, dated August 20, 1894. It shows that his birth name was Alfred Potter and is signed by the founder of the foundling home, Sister Irene. I've been told by a few orphan train authorities that none of them have ever seen a certificate signed by her.
