the main library in New Orleans has the original interdictions - she can get a copy of that if she gives them the info we transcribed. The interdiction page that I got for my aunt had more information than the records we transcribed for example - she was having frequent seizures and could no longer be cared for at home - said she was clean and i don't remember what else but i think is certainly is worth it to either go to the library and find it or have the library send it. The cost used to be about $2.00 to send for it. Much cheaper than parking and making your own copies (which you pay for) penny ----- Original Message ----- From: <CFitzp@aol.com> To: <LAORLEAN@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2008 5:37 PM Subject: [LAORLEAN] City Insane Asylum 1875-1877 Hi NOVA, Does anyone have any background information on the City Insane Asylum? I was contacted by Pat (copying her on this email) who discovered her relative Kate Pendergast in the records of the Next of Kin of Patients in the Insane Asylum that we transcribed for the Louisiana Division. See _http://www.nutrias.org/~nopl/inv/next%20of%20kin.htm_ (http://www.nutrias.org/~nopl/inv/next%20of%20kin.htm) . We would like to find out if any further records exist. I suggested to Pat to try to find out where the patients in the asylum came from. I suspect that many came from Charity Hospital. If so, there would be an admission record for Kate somewhere on the microfilm for the 1877 admissions, assuming she was not in the asylum or the hospital for long. Does anyone have any additional info about the city insane asylum from the 1870s? Colleen **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food.
