I am looking for an Orphanage in Mora, Cleveland, New Mexico around the 1920's. Have had NO luck but I understand that St. Andrews Catholic Church might have had one in Mora or Las Vegas, New Mexico. Can anyone help?

    @MarquezPriscilla, I have done a short search of the internet without finding any reference to an orphanage in Mora. I did find the New Mexico Baptist Children's Home at Portales, New Mexico. You can see some information about this home at: https://www.nmbch.com/about-2/history/

    As to an orphanage sponsored by St. Andrews Catholic Church, I see nothing in New Mexico.

    For information about an orphanage in Mora, you might want to contact the New Mexico State Records Center & Archives, in Santa Fe. Their phone number is (505) 476-7948; and their address is: 1205 Camino Carlos Rey, Santa Fe, NM 87507. Their researchers should be able to assist you.


    Sorry that I was not able to find what you seek.

    @MarquezPriscilla, I see that @annewandering has reminded us of the Adoption Group, with a link to it (the full name of the Group is Adoption and Unknown Family Research).

    It looks like a wonderful group for you to find additional help. I also have ancestors that spent several years in an orphanage; so, I too have joined the Group. We invite you to also take a look and, if you like what you see, join the Group.

    I'll share with you the link to this group which was previously given to us. And to @annewandering, thank you.

    Best of luck to you in your research.

    I would like to tag the @adoption and unknown group for this but that doesnt seem to work anymore? Perhaps someone in the communtiy can help me figure that out?
