If your ancestor or relative was given to criminal acts, consider searching for them a reasonable distance from their home. One relative who was prone to occasional crimes in the early 20th century, typically did so out of his immediate area of residence. Newspapers in his home county, for one reason or another, didn’t always mention the activities, and he does not appear in his “home county” court records because of where the crimes were committed. Location matters.
