Yes.
(1) The Orphan Train Heritage Society of America, P.O. Box 496, Johnson, AR 72741-0496.
(2) "Children of Orphan Trains from New York to Illinois and beyond" by J. Coble,
published by Ill. State Genealogical Society, 1994. This is a name index to reports of
the western placing agency of the New York Juvenile Asylum (now called Children's
Village)
(3) "The New York Foundling Hospital : an index to its federal, state, and local census
records (1870-1925)" by C. R. Inskeep, 1995. Printed for Clearfield Co. by Genealogical
Pub. Co.
The names in this volume represent 13,000 children who lived in the NY Foundling
Hospital, many of whom were sent to adoptive families in the West. The NY Foundling
Hospital was a Catholic placing agency.
If anyone knows of other published references listing names of children, I'd like to
hear from you.
