Researching institutionalized ancestors can be a real task and can require close research at the local level to unearth clues. Whether your ancestor was at the state hospital, a children’s home, a prison, or another institution, the path you take to research them can be well off the typical databases. What can you expect to find, if anything, and where should you begin to look? Join us for a case study as we track one ancestor from the institution to the archives.

Jennie Powers took a stand against social vices in New Hampshire and Vermont in the early twentieth century. She was a humane society agent in Keene from 1903-1936 and one of the first humane society agents to become a deputy sheriff in New Hampshire. Jennie was known across the country as "The Woman Who Dares" cited by the Boston Post newspaper in 1906 as having arrested more men than any other woman in America. As a photographic activist, she used her camera to document animal cruelty, family violence, and wide-spread poverty in New Hampshire's Monadnock region and beyond.
