  1. I am trying to locate information regarding my great-great grandmother who was admitted to the Binghamton Hospital after being declared “insane”. This was reported at approximately the same time of her death. I appreciate all the work you have done and hope state officials will understand the importance to those of us in subsequent generations who are trying to understand what happened to our ancestors, especially at a time when mental health was never spoken of.

  2. My mom was told her mom passed when she was in grade school but I have come to believe she may have been institutionalized for the rest of her life. I have never found a death record for her and she is not buried in any family plots. I got my grandfathers death certificate and his marriage statues was married in the mid 1940′ not widowed and he never remarried . When do a family history search on some of these genealogy sites I do find a census record for the 1940 for a person of the same age in the Brooklyn state hospital this would have been after my mom was told she died .Are there any records available in the archives on deaths that happened at that hospital ?
