Is there anyone who can help me find records of my grandfather, Pathrick Henry STRANGE. I found him in the 1930 census records of Franklin County, Louisville, KY State Reformatory as a prisioner. How would I go about finding the informationj on him as to what crime he committed and for how long did he serve his sentence. He was about 62 years old in 1930. I would be so gratefull for your help. My mother and aunts would not even talk about him.

I have also been wondering how to find criminal records for ancestors in KY. My gr-grandfather, James Welch, was convicted of murder and served time in the State Reformatory between 1920 and ???? I found out info on his trial and conviction by searching the old newspaper stories, which were indexed online. It looks like they've changed access to those. I will research this and post the link as soon as I can find it.

Sorry, I found it as soon as I gave up and hit send to the prior message, go figure. http://local.lexpublib.org/ You can also get there by going to the Lexington Public Library Site, clicking on "Ky Room" and then on "local history index". As I said before, you can find snippets of newspaper articles by searching on the name or phrase.... then you can order the entire article from the library. I had to go through my local library to order the articles, but they get done pretty quick. Hope this helps!!!
