Mapping exercise
You may have already seen this request on FB, but I am keen for everyone to see this message and invite you to participate, as I think the map has the potential to show some interesting patterns.
Having just returned from the HK reunion I am now starting to reflect on the amazing experience – not only of being in HK itself but the level of sharing and support there was at the reunion.
After I went to visit the location of where I was found, I remembered that one of the ideas I had for the reunion event would be to have a map of HK on which we could mark the location of where we were left or found. I thought it would interesting to see this information mapped out.
I am still interested in doing this exercise.
The information on the map would only be
1. Year and month found/left
2. address – street name & if in a building (eg stairwell, hospital, orphange, police station if known)
3. & orphanage(s) sent to.

The focus is primarily on HK adoptees found or relinquished in the 1950s and 60s as I would like to produce two maps – one of locations as they are now and if possible another using map(s) from Late 50s & 60s

I would like to emphasise that there will be no names (as identifying information) on the map(s),

If you would like to participate in this, please can you send me these details.

Also, if you have any reservations or queries about it, please let me know.
