MA - Deed and Land Records Online
Deed searching is one of the cornerstone methods for genealogical research and in Massachusetts you can begin your search at the Massachusetts Land Records website. The site presents a map of the state divided into counties. Simply click on the county of interest and you will be taken to search page for the Registry of Deeds for that county. The counties of Plymouth and Barnstable are not accessible from this map.
The range of available dates for searching will vary from county to county, depending on how far back each county has been able to scan in the deeds. The dates available on most sites go back to about the 1960's, where the oldest dates available appear to be for northern Worcester County which go back to at least 1900.
Plymouth County has its own website for the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds, which provides access to records dating back into the 1600's.
Barnstable County (Cape Cod region) has its own website for the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds, which contains searchable indexes and images from 1704 to present.
