I also had a maternal Uncle who was institutionalized in Letchworth Village. Up to this point, I only had verbal pass-down of events that happened a world away from me, at some time in history, before I was born. Today I have finally located my missing Uncle Lawrence "Larry" Langstrand, in the 1940 New York Census. He was only 7 years old, during the U.S. 1940 New York 1940 Census, & he was listed as a resident at Letchworth Village, Rockland, New York. I would love to learn more about him. I'm sure he's passed on by now, but my heart still breaks for a little 7 year old boy who was placed, at such a young age, in an institution for the feeble-minded. I would like to know where I could look, long distance, for Letchworth Village Patient Records. I'll appreciate any assistance you can give. Most sincerely, Patricia in Bremerton, WA Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
