South Essex Registry of Deeds Move

Grantor Book Project

Today the Summer Interns at the Registry have started to lay the foundations for putting the Grantor Index online back to 1731. The online index will be in an "e-book" format, mimicking the format of the paper books. Although we are in the process of indexing documents from 1965 backwards, this process moves slowly. The online grantor indices, while not as thorough as our full indexing, will provide the capability to search ALL of our records from the comfort of your home or office.

Stay tuned here for more information on the progress and details of this exciting project.

Just a reminder that the Registry of Deeds will be closed this Monday May 26, 2008 in observance of Memorial Day.
