Hi Group, I have seen questions about where to obtain vital records from Massachusetts. Here is a quick summary: 1. Before 1841, write to the Town Clerk. Look up the address of the town you are interested in on the Internet. 2. 1841-1910, write to Massachusetts Archives at Columbia Point, 220 Morrissey Boulevard, Boston, MA 02125. Estimate the date of the birth, marriage or death in Massachusetts as near as you can. If they find the person, they will send you the book (year), vol, and page no. Then, you write and ask for a certified copy ($3.00), or a photocopy of the record ($.50). (Current fees.) You may also write to the town clerk for this at a higher cost, but if you are not sure of the town, the Mass Archives is the best bet. 3. After 1910, town clerks. Or, Registry of Vital Statistics, 150 Mt. Vernon Street, Dorchester, MA 02125. You can look them up on the Internet to get their fees (about $15.00). They want the fee in advance, whether or not they find anything. Good luck!
