House History Research Seminar

This coming Thursday, December 20, 2018, at 12:30 pm at the Tewksbury Public Library, 300 Chandler Street, Tewksbury, I will give a talk on how to research the history of your home using Registry of Deeds records. The talk is free and will last an hour with plenty of time for questions.

The Middlesex North Registry of Deeds is the depository of all records related to the ownership of land in Billerica, Carlisle, Chelmsford, Dracut, Dunstable, Lowell, Tewksbury, Tyngsborough, Westford and Wilmington from the first document recorded in 1629 up until this moment. All 14 million pages of those records have been scanned and are freely available for viewing, downloading and printing on the registry's website, www.lowelldeeds.com.  

At this talk, I will explain how registry of deeds records are organized and will provide helpful hints on how to use them most effectively.
