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
