Question: Waverly Sanitorum!?
Hi All-

Me again, I'm still working on the family tree and stumped!. Several relatives either due to illness or moved in due to someone having consumption lived at Waverly Sanitorium!.

I know they no longer use it but is there a way to find records of who lived there!. I ' m aware that family members often moved in due to a relative having consumption and ended up getting it but is there a way to find out who were patients !?

thanksWww@QuestionHome@Com

Welcome to the Official Waverly Hills/ Woodhaven memorial & historical resource site!. Our objective is to provide a resource and a memorial for all the building and the people whose lives made an impact on Louisville's history!. Our objective is the facts as we are a resource!. All information contained in this website will be confirmed information either by photograph, news article, and/ or historical archive of some kind!.

This site will currently be the memorial for the tuberculosis & geriatric hospitals!. Plans are underway for an on site memorial for all the names listed and to be listed!. All information / names gathered from research and visitors will be added to the memorial!.

If you look at this site, you can click on a link that says Patient Profile and there are a number of patients listed there!. Maybe you will be able to find the ones you are looking for!. BTW, consumption is another name for TB or tuberculosis!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hospital records normally would be confidential!.!.!. if they still existed!. One location that you MIGHT get background on the hospital(s) would be to see if there is a historical society in the area!.
People would attempt to help you by lookups!.!. however, you don't even include as much as the country!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
