I've tried searching online, but haven't found anything that looks right. Does anyone know how to search for historical (1930-1950) criminal court records for Kings County? I checked FamilySearch for Kings Court records, but didn't find any listings. All the online search sites or mail-in requests seemed to be for 1987 forward. Family legend has it that my great uncle George Ryan (September 1916 - June 2007) was incarcerated at one point for murder. I've located the family living at 88 Cedar Place in Brooklyn in the 1940 Census, but George is not there. When I asked older relatives, they said that might be because that was when he was in prison. Now that George has passed on, I'd like to try and find out what is fact and what is fiction. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! --Helen Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
