Hello, I've been working on my SIMISTER line. Many lived in Fall River, MA. I found 10 death records which pertain to this family. All d. btwn. 1896 - 1927, in Fall River. I spoke w/the Fall River City Clerk, and she said I can get these records only by order them -- at $8 each. And that I cannot search these books myself in person. Does anyone know if the NEW BEDFORD Library would show those deaths? I know there is a drawer there for MA deaths -- Index. Below it are many rolls re: death records. I'm wondering if anyone has worked with those drawers in that library, and could tell me if this might include Fall River deaths. Does anyone know if I could find those in the FALL RIVER Library? I was there last week, and it is not in the Library any more. People who were working there could not help much in terms of finding things, and the readers were not magnified. Has anyone been there recently? Might I find those dates/person at that Library? Or ... if anyone else can tell me how I can get this info without having to pay $80+. Thank you.
