About the Massachusetts project

The Massachusetts project is created in order to facilitate those researching ancestors or relatives in Massachusetts or elsewhere in the world but with roots or relatives in Massachusetts.

We encourage everyone with links in Massachusetts to communicate and explore a common ancestry -- and to add the tag "Massachusetts" to any relavent projects.

In this portal you will find sources and discussions that will help you with your research. In case you have a particular genealogical challenge, or if you have interesting information to share, simply start a discussion about it.
