Assistance With Family Tracing
British Child Migrant Central Information Index (CMCII)
A centralised information service has recently been set up in England to help former British child migrants find the name of their Sending Agency as a means of obtaining further details on their family background.
The CMCII links information on British child migrants who were sent to Australia, Canada and New Zealand on Government assisted schemes (in this first instance between 1920 and the late 1960s) to the agency that sent them. It is expected that records retained by Sending Agencies may assist in family tracing.
Child migrants, parents and siblings of child migrants and any nominated representative are eligible to use the Index which was set up and is independently managed on behalf of the British government by the National Council of Voluntary Child Care Organisations (NVCCO).
