On 8/16/05 (9:41:35 PM MDT), as part of a posting to NYBROOKLYN-L@rootsweb.com, Libby (kelipete@adelphia.net) asked, "I am looking for records of the Kings County Lunatic Asylum from 1875 to 1896 anyone out there have any information?" Kings Park Psychiatric Center and Central Islip Psychiatric Center were consolidated and relocated to the Pilgrim Psychiatric Center campus in the Fall of 1996. The following Fall, those facilities were merged into Pilgrim Psychiatric Center under one name. Thus, the records from Kings Park Psychiatric Center, as well as from the Central Islip Psychiatric Center, may be at: Pilgrim Psychiatric Center 998 Crooked Hill Road Brentwood, NY 11717-1087 Tel: 631/761-3500 Fax: 631/761-2600 eMail: pilgriminfo@omh.state.ny.us http://www.omh.state.ny.us/omhweb/facilities/pgpc/facility.htm I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. L'Shannah Tovah* & Happy 5766, Walter Greenspan * L'Shannah Tovah (li-SHAH-nuh TOH-vuh; li-shah-NAH toh-VAH) Hebrew. Lit. for a good year. The common greeting during Rosh ha Shannah and the Days of Awe. This is a shortening of "L'Shannah tovah tikatev v'taihatem" (or, to women, "L'Shannah tovah tikatevi v'taihatemi"), which means, "May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year." This year, Rosh ha Shannah begins at sunset on Monday, October 3 on the civil calendar.
