Massachusetts Vital Records Volumes

 

     Between the late 1800s and World War II the vital records (to about 1850) for more than 200 of the 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth were published in a series of books commonly known as the "Official Series," or as the "Tan Books" for the color of their bindings.  The volumes comprising the "Official Series" are listed in the first section below.  VR volumes for several other towns have been published which are not included in the "Official Series," and those are listed in a second section.  Some VRs were also partially published in genealogical journals, and I have included those articles which I have used in my research in the third section, although this is by no means a complete listing of such articles.  The Search & ReSearch CD-ROMs include records that have not been published elsewhere, and those are listed in the fourth section.  This listing provides publication information for all of those works, as far as I have been able to determine them.

     Although the published vital records are generally extremely accurate, a number of transcription errors and typographical errors have been discovered in them.  For corrections found by researchers see Errors in Published Vital Records.
