They also have the BMD index on microfilm for the years 1915-1970. You can get volume and page that way then go right down the street to Mass Vitals(they have records from 1920-present)and look at actual record. Vitals chages $9 an hour, sometimes if you are there less they won't charge, but that's why I use Archives first - it saves a little time.
