I need to find someone who was incarcerated in a prison in one of the Western states. I figure there are ten states out here where he could be if he hasn't met his fate yet. I knew this feller when we were in our teens back in the fifties and he is a chapter in the book with the McQuillens. Most of His family is gone except for one older brother whose memory is not the best. George is a friend from out of the Ozarks who dropped out of grade school and almost became a "Moving Pitcher" star. He appeared in a John Wayne movie and one other, as hard as that may be to believe. George ran a foul of the law in a town out here when he got into a quick draw contest with the sheriff and shot him dead. The Question Is, "How Do I Find George?"----Jim

Jim: Start by looking at the Rootsweb Social Security Death Index and see if he has died. Then you can contact the department of corrections in each state (usually headquartered in the state capital) you are considering with full name and birthdate. Having place of birth and parental names will probably help too. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Jims505@aol.com> To: <MO-STLOUIS-METRO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 5:13 PM Subject: [StL-Metro] Thinking Like A Hillbilly, Or The Skinny Dipper > I need to find someone who was incarcerated in a prison in one of the Western > states.

Dear Jim, Go to the following website and pick a state. I don't know if all of the states have the same information online, but here in Michigan, you can go to "inmates" and put in a name and find out if they are incarcerated. http://www.searchsystems.net/ And, no, I was not looking for a relative in the prison system. I was looking under "licenses-veterinary" to see if my daughter's name showed up.
