    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: SAYLOR CRAIG Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3AB.2ACI/6871.3 Message Board Post: I was at the KY Archives this past summer and found rolls of microfilm of Circuit Court Records for Criminal Cases. The microfilm contained Criminal Order Books that had an index to the prisioners housed in the State Penitientiary. Depending on the county, there was varied information found about the dates of the criminal act, sometimes containing depositions about the crime, who was present, who witnesses were, and fees for witnesses. My contact there was Lisa Thompson, although I have found that any of the staff is well-versed in what criminal records are available. Lisa responds well to email - I have received a lot of valuable info from the staff.
