Does anyone know how you can go about getting a record about an ancestor? I was told by my mother that my great great grandfather was in prison in Ohio in 1920 for supposedly attempting to murder my great great grandmother Elizabeth. The only issue is that the only census that says Henry Lenk (Link) says he was in Prison but not what he did or how long he was there and it has his parents birth places wrong it says they were born in the US when in fact they were both from Germany and he was the only one born here in the US.
Any help would be nice - I've searched and cant find anything really, his name is/was Henry Lenk (Link) he was aprox 40 at the time :)
