Iowa's Past
- Named for a native tribe, the area which became Iowa was part of the
Louisiana Purchase, and closed to non-native settlement prior to the
Black
Hawk War, which ended in 1832. The Sauk and Fox tribal land
cessions followed. Non-native settlement began with the
Black Hawk Purchase, and Iowa became part of Michigan Territory until
1836, when Michigan achieved statehood. From 1836, until 1838,
Iowa was part of the Wisconsin
Territory. Finally, two years later, Iowa Territory was carved
out
of the area of Wisconsin Territory west of the Mississippi River. -

Vital records have been registered in Massachusetts since
1635. Depending upon the time era of the Vital Records, you
may be able to obtain Birth, Marriage and Death Records from more than
one source. There are no restrictions for requesting records
filed prior to 1906. However, for births and deaths since 1906,
there are restrictions, primarily concerned with records of individuals
born to unmarried parents. - TOWN/CITY CLERK:
Birth, Marriage and Death records, from the
earliest date to present, may be requested from the town clerk's office
in the town in which the event occurred. - MA REGISTRY of VITAL RECORDS:
Statewide data collection began in 1841. The
Registry of Vital Records and Statistics in the Department of Public
Health has the records of births, deaths and marriages for
Massachusetts from 1906 to the present.
Every five years the earliest five years of records maintained at the
Registry are transferred to the custody of the State Archives. The next
transfer
will occur in 2001. After the transfer any restrictions that may be on
the
transferred records will be removed.
