Usage Tips

For general information, see the overall page for Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850.

This is one of several compilations of Massachusetts vital records which is not in the standard format (listed alphabetically by surname), but follows the sequence of the various books of town records from which it was taken. However, there are indexes (Places, pp. 441-442 and Persons, pp. 443-496) which facilitate finding the desired record(s).
