Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850
New Town Additions - Spencer and Westborough

Search Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850

At the turn of the twentieth century NEHGS was instrumental in the effort to purchase books of vital statistics to the year 1850 for the 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. By 1945 the vital records for over 200 of these municipalities had been published. Many of these volumes were added to NewEnglandAncestors.org in weekly installments during 2002. This marked the first time these records were made available online in their original context, including the original source citations.

The newest additions to this database are the towns of Spencer and Westborough, both located in Worcester County.

The Vital Records to 1850 series is available at the Research Library, and most volumes are available to NEHGS members through the Circulating Library. The call number for these volumes are as follows:

Spencer - REF F74/S77/S7/1909
Westborough - REF F74/W65/W4/1903
