      Information for Massachusetts:

        Divorce records are available from the Registrar of Probate Court in the county where the the couple last lived as husband and wife. Countywide divorce indexes exist at each county probate court from 1922 to the present.

        Birth Certificates are on file in the town you were born in, and the town your parents were living in at your birth. Marriage Certificates are on file in the town where you filed your intentions, not the town where you were married. Death Certificates are on file in the town the person was living in at the time of death, and also the town of death, if different.

        Unless the records were destroyed, they date back to the incorporation date of the town. Vital Records for many towns published in a series of books available in very many town libraries, at Mass Archives, and at NEHGS.
