Most criminal history checks reveal every ARREST - not just convictions. Even if you are arrested for murder and then acquitted, or released because the police realized that you were the wrong person - that arrest will ALWAYS be on your record. So your record will reflect any and all arrests, whether misdemeanor or felony. In most states, you can apply for a copy of your Automated Criminal History at your local law enforcement agency. There is a fee and you must supply photo ID, but it's a good way to check to see what exactly is on your record. Should you find any discrepancies, you can petition for their removal, and the local police department should be able to steer you in the right direction.

Yes. You may be able to get them expunged with the help of an attorney. Usually a few years have to pass before a Court will even look at the case though. You also can only get your record expunged in the Court that sentenced you.

Not only felonies, most arrests and convictions (felony or otherwise) follow a person wherever they go.

Yes. Once a felon always a felon. The conviction follows you everywhere.
