Thanks to all who answered... Hi just got off the phone with the Supervisor or Medical Records from the Hudson River Psychiatric Center, North Road, Poughkeepsie NY. They are not sure if they have the records, but will be glad to look... Sometimes they retain only the base information which in my case would be better then nothing... All I need to do is send them a copy of my birth cert. and my mother's along with the other letter I have stating where she died, and they will see what they can do.. So you have steered me in the right direction, just maybe I'll get luck... The sad thing is my poor mother, believed that her mother died 10 days after she was born from malnutrition... Well one step at a time.. Thanks all of you for your wonderful help.. I'll let you know if it worked.. Sincerely Wanda Clowater
