GOOD DEEDS: Keeping History Alive

By William P. O’Donnell, Norfolk County Register of Deeds

October is National Family History Month, a time dedicated to preserving the stories and traditions of our ancestors and learning about our roots and the experiences that have shaped our families for generations.

By exploring our family history, we can gain a deeper understanding of our roots and connections to the past. Have you ever wondered where some of your family traditions come from, or wanted to uncover the root of a family story passed down through the generations?

GOOD DEEDS: Keeping History Alive

Today, millions of Americans are on the hunt for clues to find out more about themselves and their family’s background. According to an ABC News report, genealogy is ranked the second most popular hobby in the United States. Genealogy websites get more than 100 million hits per year. But its popularity doesn’t end there. There are also genealogy television shows, college courses, and businesses. Therefore, a survey that revealed 78% of people want to research their ancestry shouldn't really surprise us. And the search for answers may just lead you right to the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds, thanks in part to our History Comes Alive program.

For some, the Registry of Deeds may not be the first place that comes to mind when trying to trace your family's history. However, it can be a great place to start your genealogical journey. We have a wealth of information and cutting-edge technology to assist you. The Norfolk County Registry of Deeds possesses approximately 13.1 million land records, recorded in 42,028 Registry books dating back to when Norfolk County was created in 1793. Some of these records include deeds, liens, foreclosures, mortgages, conveyances, trusts, and mortgage discharges.

What can you learn from these documents? Plenty. You can discover where a family member lived. What they generally paid for the property by looking at some of the recorded documents such as the deed as well as any mortgage filings. When and who they sold it to. And if while owning the property they faced any financial burdens, such as an attempted foreclosure or having a lien placed on their home. However, you might also say, “That sounds like great information, but it's impractical for me to get to the Registry given my work schedule.” Well, thanks to technology that’s no longer a problem, you can do it from the comfort of your home computer or cell phone 24/7. Just go to the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds website www.norfolkresearch.org hit the Search for Your Deed button and type in the name you are looking for. If they owned property in Norfolk County you will find records all the way back to the 1700’s. We made this research process even easier for you through our History Comes Alive Transcription Program where all the Registry documents written in hard-to-read cursive penmanship from 1793 to 1900 were transcribed into clearly readable print.

In addition to the wealth of information at the Registry, both on sight and via our online records database, the Registry’s Genealogy Research and Resource Center has 4 workstations dedicated to genealogy research. These workstations have free access to Ancestry.com and American ancestors.

These databases can help you continue your journey as you try to discover your roots by gaining access to records across Europe and across the world wherever your families are from. You can find census records, draft cards, and prison records for ancestors who may not have been on the straight and narrow.

The primary mission of the registry is always the security, accuracy, and accessibility of our communities’ land records and reliable service to the residents of Norfolk County, but if you think about it, the registry also records history every day, accurately preserving a detailed chain of events on Norfolk County properties from 1793 to the present. The addition of the Genealogy Research and Resource Center only adds to the wealth of information you can find at the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds. So, whether you are a historian, genealogist, or simply curious about your family history the Registry might have some clues to help you discover your roots.
