• Notes

  Britta Helena Hamnqvist died on Danvik Mental Hospital 1830 The conditions at the hospital was disgusting. They were potatoes, herring and soup. Many died of vitamin deficiency. There are documents relating Britta Helena probably in Stockholm in the archives, but I have not researched why she ended up in the madhouse. I will seek diagnosis. I dödboken, står det även att Britta Helana var frånskild vid dödstillfället. [1]
