Essex
County registry of Deeds
The first 20 books of the Essex
Deeds are available here on line. Unfortunately, the indexes are not on-line,
but they are available at the court house. Also note that the "pages" referred
to on-line are numbered pages, while the index at the court house refers
to "folios" (consisting of one piece of paper, front and back) So the on-line
page numbers are roughly double the number of the folio given in the index.
