Samuel and William WEST were found among NARA Revolutionary War records of the NC 10th Regiment. I need guidance, please, in learning how to locate that information. From what I read, it seems I need to know the RG, Record Group, and that I know not how to find. Thanks for any instruction. FWP Fran

It is not clear to me whether the law Debbie is referring to was in effect at the time of the event/publication or if it is a more modern law. Unless a modern law had specific language covering acts/conditions in the past, you can't apply a law retroactively. If it is Massachusetts General law, Chapter 123, section 36 - then you have to know when that law went into effect, plus as Karen said, what/when it covers. Newspapers frequently published records from the courthouse - licenses or recorded marriages, commitments, sometimes births reported from the hospital or the registrar of the jurisdiction, deaths, real estate transactions, bankruptcies, divorces, etc. You're not accessing the protected records of the state hospital, you are accessing a newspaper that is available to anyone in the public.

Thanks, Dee Dee, and to everyone who responded. I received some great tips -- plus the answer I sought – and do feel encouraged. The patient I’m referring to was an elderly man who was reported in the newspaper article under what I will refer to as "name 1." He was picked up on the streets of Boston in 1918 in a confused state. No family was mentioned. Just before he died in 1924 at the state hospital he claimed to be someone else entirely (name 2) who had a family living in Lowell, MA. The Police couldn’t find any family at the time and the man was buried under name 1. Four years earlier, however, he was likely enumerated under name 2 – at the hospital -- in the 1920 U. S. census. There could be descendants looking for him.

It's already been published, in the newspaper, so obviously, unless the newspaper later was prosecuted for doing so, printing such information did not violate the state law. The legislation must contain a provision allowing for publication of the date and a brief statement of the cause. Have you read the statute? As long as you observe "fair use" principles and cite your source, the newspaper, I wouldn't worry. The state may have a time limit or other provisions regarding the information. I know that such records are protected in Florida, and access to them in the state archives is restricted to immediate family or direct descendants. Again, a reading of the statute (and any subsequent modifications to it, if any) might clear up such questions.

Hi Karen -- Thanks for your answer. Yes, I had read the section of the legislation and found no such provisions. The only thing that might apply is disclosure is/was possible when it was in the best interest of the patient. Perhaps it was so when this particular article was published (I have reason to think it was)-- but there are many such articles in older papers from the same state regarding different people, some on the sensational side, some not. However, I certainly don't want to violate any state legislation.

This question may have an obvious or simple answer….or not. I began research on an Irish immigrant whose life ended in a state hospital where patient records are protected by state legislation. If I find information in an older issue of a newspaper (in the same state) regarding this person’s hospital commitment date AND the reason for which he was committed, would I be violating the law if I republished the information? I have yet to find any of his descendants, but have good reason for wanting to find them and to pursue this.

Ditto Harold's suggestion with this one bit to add. The original birth record is held in the town clerk's office in the town in which the event occurred. Typically a birth record of this era will be a handwritten entry among others on the page in a bound volume. It is prudent to call the town clerk's office in advance to ask what their fee and other requirements are. You will want to stress that you want a copy of the original, not a typed summary or abstract. This is not always possible due to the condition of some of the very early records.

Debbie, One of the courses offered by the British Institute in Salt Lake City this year is ³Tracing Your Irish Ancestors,² a week-long course with Fiona Fitzsimons of Eneclann in Dublin, as the instructor. The British Institute is sponsored by the International Society for British Genealogy and Family History, will be held 21-25 September 2015, at the Salt Lake Plaza hotel, which is next door to the Family History Library. One of the benefits of the Institute is that all classes are held in the morning, then the instructors work with their students at the Family History Library every afternoon. This would be an opportunity for someone to delve into the local records in the state where their ancestor lived, then use those findings along with the Irish records held by the Family History Library, all with benefit of the instructor onsite to guide you.
