WHAT
DO THE ORIGINAL MASSACHUSETTS TOWN VITAL RECORD BOOKS LOOK LIKE?
Some are large, some are small; some are easy to read, some
are hard to read--depending upon the handwriting of the clerk.
Some are brittle, fragile, and faded, while others are "silked"
or laminated. Some are rebound, while others need to be.
WHAT DO THESE ORIGINAL
BOOKS CONTAIN?
Some of the earliest
books contain town minutes with births,
marriages, and deaths interspersed. Others are devoted entirely
to vital records and are arranged by families. Most are arranged
in alphabetical order or indexed. Some are indexed transcripts
of earlier records. Books after 1843 contain separate accounts of
births, marriages and deaths in chronologically arranged
registers.
WHERE CAN YOU FIND THE
ORIGINAL VOLUMES CONTAINING THE MASSACHUSETTS VITALS?
The vital record books are kept by city and town clerks
throughout the state. Access to them, however, is limited. Those
that we filmed are now available on fiches that you can
read at the library or in your home.
HOW ARE THESE
MICROFICHE EDITIONS OF MASSACHUSETTS VITAL RECORDS DIFFERENT FROM THE
PRINTED SERIES OF VITAL RECORDS TO 1850?
The microfiches are primary source documents for births,
marriages, and deaths. In contrast, the printed series was
compiled from miscellaneous sources, including gravestones,
usually with no specific documentation. Also, 1/3 of the towns
in the state were not included in the printed series. |
