Question:
Are there any plans of adding more Massachusetts Vital records beyond 1915 to your website?
Answer:
The records from 1916-1920 need first to be transferred out of the custody of the Massachusetts Department of Vital Statistics and sent to the Massachusetts State Archives. This batch will include records ending with Dec. 31, 1920, and cannot be transferred until they have all occurred prior to ninety years. When these have been transferred then these records will become open for NEHGS to potentially place online. For example records from 1921-1925 will not become available until 2015, and records 1926-1930 until 2020, etc.
