Hello all, I was browsing through the Iowa history site and came across this link - even if you don't find an elusive and colorful ancestor in this list, it is still an interesting read. Amazing what we all once considered to be against the law. So if you are looking for a brief break for ancestor hunting - take a coffee break and read on - just click on the link below: http://iagenweb.org/history/excerpts/1916paroleboard.htm Happy ancestor hunting!
