Default Re: TRACKING PREVIOUS OWNERS

This is true as each state adopted the Privacy Act differently. Some essentially 'shut down', while others simply ask for a notarized form or they will cross out the personal info on their response. It all depends on the state.

I'm pretty sure that all states have the info, and they keep it on microfiche or other electronic media. It all comes down to 'who is asking', and if they warrant the extra work to retrieve the info. If there was a federal indictment involved, trust me - the info would be found.

There are some cases where the state will reply that the records have been lost - PA for example claims to have lost the records for early 1969. I'm not sure what to believe then, but I trust that since they took the trouble to reply - and kept the money - that they indeed searched.
