Shirley,
Criminal records are public records. If you know where the crime was
committed and where they were sentenced, that court house will have the
records.
I did a search for a few of my "black sheep" that were arrested in the early
1930's and didn't get a hit on the Indiana site. But it did find my ex <G>
He was convicted in the early 90's.
For Delaware county, you can search for court records on the Genealogy and
History Libraries database. Usually if you can find their records it states
where they were sentenced to.

Thank you Belinda and Sharon. I was afraid of that issue and I
suppose
it's handled the same way as other census. I'm wondering if there
isn't a
way using the freedom of information act or public records.
I'm open to all suggestions.

Shirley,
There is a confidentiality issue that covers the past 75 years. You can
check with the Indiana State Archives, which has prison records, but I
don't think they can help with the modern time frame because of this
issue.
