Insane Asylums
What would have seen you sent to an insane asylum years ago would seem quite unbelievable to a semi educated person today.
For instance, in the 1800's you could be institutionalized for a wide variety of things: Wives and daughters who did not obey their husbands
or fathers could be put away, alcoholics, depressed people, "angry people", women in menopause, and people going against the norm would also have seen their freedom and dignity evaporate before them
and be sent away and institutionalized.
So as you can see, you may just be able to find one of your ancestors in a mental institution even though they really were not "insane".
