| Marblehead Research Resources VITAL RECORDS : At this time, there is no free online transcription of Marblehead's Vital Records to 1849. Several web sites are currently hard at work at publishing the Massachusetts Vital Records online - including the Essex County USGenWeb Page. Vital Records may be obtained from several sources. You can contact the Marblehead Town Clerk's office to obtain copies of birth, marriage and death certificates of residents of Marblehead. This link will bring you to the current Marblehead Town web page, which is currently under construction. Here you can email the town clerk, or you can call them at 781-631-0528 for more information about obtaining these records. ONLINE MAPS : Located on the USIGS web site, there are several old Marblehead maps, including plot identification by surnames. The actual links to the site are complicated at this time, so I will be adding the corrected links to the page as time permits. The pictures are large and take a while to open. You will be taken off site of this web page to view them. You must use your back button to return to my menu of links. 1881 map of Washington Square area of Marblehead 1881 map of Middle St/Pleasant St/ Essex St area 1881 map of Village St. neighborhood in Marblehead 1897 atlas of area around the Old Burying Hill area 1897 atlas of Washington Square area of Marblehead 1897 atlas of Elm St/Green Street Cemetery area of Marblehead WILLS ONLINE : There are over a hundred early Essex County Wills online at the Essex County Home Page, including seven at this time, from Marblehead HISTORICAL SOCIETIES : Essex Society of Genealogists

If you are a serious Essex County Researcher, we strongly suggest you join the official Essex County Mailing List. Here you will find hundreds of Essex researchers trading information in an almost "family" atmosphere.
Join Essex County's Mailing List on RootsWeb MAEssex Put only the word "subscribe" in the subject line and body. If you have a single query that you want posted to a semi-permanent "bulletin board" type message facility, we suggest you use the message board system on the RootsWeb page: Go to Essex County's Page on RootsWeb Essex County on RootsWeb
This list is "gated" to the MAEssex List (above) so your "one-time" message will also appear there.
