Hello Helen I was having problems with the Death Registers Site last week and I wrote to them. I received a reply one day last week to say they were having problems with it and were looking into the problem and were hoping to have it fixed in the next few days. Pat

Hi Helen Willie Whelan from Waterford County Museum here. My day job is with Deise Design a web company. We have done work with the library in the past and I am familiar with their system. The different parts of the library site all sit on different architectures / servers so it is possible to have an outage of a section of the site. I will draw it to the attention of Ger Croughan who is in charge of Dungarvan Library.

Thanks all, Glad to know it's not me. I look forward to them fixing the problem.

List, Is anybody having problems with the Waterford County Library site? I tried last week and again this evening to look at the death registers that were online and they are still unavailable. Did the genealogy area of the website get taken down? Helen

The Mass. Archives URL is <http://www.state.ma.us/sec/arc/arcidx.htm>. The Archives are open to the public free of charge.

Hello DaveI also have just found that the Vital Records on the website is now working.I don't think the Passenger Lists are working though.Pat

If this site becomes functional again would someone repost the link.

Randy, Most, if not all, of the MA records are now on the FHC site and gives a little more info than the Archives. The MA Archives site, is only an index to the records. I believe you have to belong to a genealogical society, or have someone who does belong to it to do a lookup of the actual record for you, or contact the MA Archives to obtain the records for a fee. EX: Go to MA Archives site and put in Florence E. Morse New Bedford http://www.sec.state.ma.us/vitalrecordssearch/VitalRecordsSearch.aspx and you will get the 2, one being the following: Morse, Florence E. New Bedford 1908 Page 574 No. 347 Birth If you go to the FHC site: https://www.familysearch.org/ and put in same info You will get her name, actual date of birth, and her parents names. While it is not the complete record either, it does give you a bit more info. Elaine

Dave, All is working on the MA State Archives site this morning. So, was it a weekend thing or did they discover the server was acting up when they got into work this morning? I was able to get into all the searches. Great site. > > I used the URL contained in this message and connected with the site.

Hello Dave I just tried the website that you mentioned but it tells me that an error occurred during the "login" process but I cannot find anywhere on the site where you can register. Did you register?

Pat, Dave ,List, I think their server is down. I got the same error also. I find familysearch.org much more helpful for MA vitals than the state site. I belong to NEHGS and I find familysearch.org better than them also when I use the advanced search feature. Helen Cape Cod, MA Please double-check subject line & snip your messages when replying.

Dave, I searched this site for people whom I know were born in Boston in the 1890's and it doesn't give a hit.????
