Byberry State Hospital

I have been reviewing the 1940 census records and came across the records of Byberry Hospital known as Philadelphia State Hospital for Mental Diseases. I cannot believe there are 152 pages of names to sort through. That is going to be a lot of work so stay tuned. When I scan them, I will post them.

I did find the records for Fairmount Farms known today as Fairmount Behavioral Health System. There are four pages of names to sort through and I have already scanned those records, which I will post later this week.

I have records scanned for two orphanages; Sacred Heart and St. Joseph's, both are females.

Lots of information will be coming soon. Stay tuned.
