Surnames: St Joseph lunatic asylum #2 Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/zJB.2ACE/904.1057 Message Board Post: The former St Joseph :Lunatic Asylum No 2 aka St Joseph State Hospital and now NMPRC old records are now stored at Jefferson City MO. The Glore psychiatric Museum or Northwest Missouri Genealogy Society may be able to get you started on how to check but I know you pay 15.00 for a court order to view the records and you must go before a judge to do so. The new HIPPA act has caused a tremendous amount of red tape. You can view St Joseph State hosp under Census records on Ancestry.com I have found info there but it lists very minimal info.
