Insane Asylum Records - United States

Don’t overlook insane asylum records in the search for missing ancestors. In the 1800s, and even later, many people were confined to such intuitions simply because they were disobedient wives or children. Others might have been depressed, alcoholic, menopausal, or individuals who were considered different than the accepted standards of normal for the community or time in which they lived. Some of course were ill and did need treatment. Whatever the cause of confinement, insane asylum patient  records can be useful for genealogical research.

The records contained here are from 1930 state indexes. Entries are listed alphabetically. The indexes give the inmate’s name, date of birth, and place of birth.
