Where Massachusetts Keeps the Records That Locate a Person
The vendor pages on page one for this phrase advertise coverage of all fourteen Massachusetts counties. The General Laws do not recognise that as a recording unit. Chapter 36, section 12 provides that in all things relating to the register or registry of deeds, each district is to be deemed a county – and section 1 divides Berkshire, Bristol, Essex, Middlesex and Worcester into districts by name, with the towns in each written into the statute. Counting the enacted text gives twelve districts inside those five counties plus one office in each of the nine that are undivided: twenty-one recording jurisdictions, not fourteen. Underneath sits a second complication no page-one result mentions. Massachusetts runs a Land Court title registration system alongside ordinary recording, indexed separately, where a certificate of title carries only the encumbrances noted on it plus seven listed exceptions – and where, under chapter 185, section 53, no title can be acquired against a registered owner by adverse possession at all. The public record and licensed data are the whole of what we draw on, and no search begins until its lawful basis has been set down in writing. What follows comes from a records-research practice, and it is information rather than legal advice.
The Short Version
Massachusetts skip tracing turns on two structural facts that the whole ranking set misses. First, the recording jurisdiction is the district. G.L. c. 36, s.12 says that “in all things relating to the register or registry of deeds, each district therefor shall be deemed a county”, and c. 36, s.1 divides five counties by name, listing the towns in each: Berkshire into three districts at Pittsfield, Adams and Great Barrington; Bristol into three at New Bedford, Fall River and Taunton; Essex into two at Lawrence and Salem; Middlesex into two at Lowell and Cambridge; Worcester into two at Fitchburg and Worcester. Twelve districts in those five, plus one office in a shire town for each of the other nine counties, makes 21. Second, a Massachusetts parcel can sit in either of two land systems. Ordinary recorded land, or registered land under a Land Court certificate of title, indexed separately by a recorder under the court’s direction. The difference is not clerical. Under c. 185, s.46 a certificate holder takes free of every encumbrance not noted on the certificate save seven enumerated exceptions – one of which is any lease for a term not exceeding seven years. Under c. 185, s.53, no title, easement or other right in registered land can be acquired by prescription or adverse possession in derogation of the registered owner, and no way of necessity is implied. Above all of it, the county layer itself has been dismantled: c. 34B, s.1 abolishes named county governments on dates between 11 July 1997 and 1 July 2000, and moved some registries to the Commonwealth ahead of their own county’s abolition. Counting the Census Bureau’s 2020 file gives 293 towns and 58 cities, so every acre of the Commonwealth is inside a municipality. We use the public record and licensed data only, and no file opens before its lawful basis is recorded. This firm is not a consumer reporting agency. All of the above is general information about Massachusetts records practice and not legal advice.
Two Land Systems Sharing One Building
Recorded land and registered land are indexed apart and behave differently in law.
Begin with the thing that catches out every researcher arriving from a recording-only state. In Massachusetts a parcel may be recorded land, handled the ordinary way, or it may be registered land, whose title was determined by the Land Court and now sits on a certificate of title. A registry of deeds holds both, and the two are not the same index.
If a search touches only the recorded side, a registered parcel is invisible to it. That is not a database gap or a coverage limitation; it is two systems doing two different jobs in one office, and knowing which one a parcel is in has to come before the search rather than after it. It is also the step this state adds to the sequence our general account of how skip tracing works describes: elsewhere the property check is one index, and in Massachusetts it opens with a decision about which of two the parcel sits in.
What a certificate of title actually promises – c. 185, s.46
Chapter 185, section 46 is the operative promise. A plaintiff receiving a certificate under a judgment of registration, and every later purchaser for value in good faith, holds “free from all encumbrances except those noted on the certificate” – and then seven exceptions, counted First through Seventh off the enacted text:
- Liens, claims or rights under federal or Commonwealth law that are not required by law to appear of record to be valid against subsequent purchasers.
- Taxes, within three years after they have been committed to the collector.
- Any highway, town way or private way laid out under chapter 82, section 21, where the certificate does not state that the boundary of the way has been determined.
- Any lease for a term not exceeding seven years.
- Liability to assessment for betterments or other statutory liens, with a proviso preserving appurtenant easements or rights that failed to be registered until they are cut off or extinguished.
- Federal tax liens under the Internal Revenue Code and other federal liens filed in the Commonwealth.
- Commonwealth tax liens.
The fourth of those matters more to a locate than to a conveyancer. A lease of up to seven years binds a registered owner without appearing on the certificate. So a person can be lawfully occupying registered land under a tenancy that leaves no trace in the registry at all – which is worth knowing before anybody concludes that an address has no connection to a subject. That is a live problem in a missing-person locate, where an address is worth exactly what the record behind it says: a tenancy of seven years or less can be entirely real and entirely absent from the registry, so occupancy has to be corroborated against a town clerk or an assessor rather than inferred from a certificate that was never going to mention it.
The rule that has no equivalent on the recorded side – c. 185, s.53
Section 53 is one sentence and a follow-up, and it settles a whole category of question: “No title to registered land, or easement or other right therein, in derogation of the title of the registered owner, shall be acquired by prescription or adverse possession. Nor shall a right of way by necessity be implied under a conveyance of registered land.”
For research that means the registered-land record is a far more complete account of who holds what than a recorded-land search can ever be. On the recorded side, occupation over time can generate rights that were never filed. On the registered side the statute forecloses it. When the question is who has an interest in a Massachusetts parcel, the answer is materially more knowable if the parcel is registered – and materially less so if it is not.
Who keeps the registered index
Chapter 185, section 56 puts the recorder, under the direction of the court, in charge of indexes of all complaints and all judgments of registration, and of indexing and classifying every paper filed relating to complaints and registered titles. The court adopts the forms of certificate and the general forms of memoranda that assistant recorders use to register conveyances. That is a court-supervised index, distinct in origin and in administration from the recorded-land index alongside it. Where the underlying matter is enforcing a debt against Massachusetts property, the mechanics sit separately in our note on Massachusetts judgment collection.
Watch: District, Not County
Getting a Massachusetts request to the right register on the first attempt.
Watch Overview
Twenty-One Districts, Each Deemed a County
Chapter 36 names the divided counties and lists the towns. The statute is the routing table.
Chapter 36, section 12 supplies the rule and the reason in one sentence: every deed required to be recorded goes in the registry for the district where the land lies, “and in all things relating to the register or registry of deeds, each district therefor shall be deemed a county.”
Section 1 then does something unusually helpful for anybody routing a request: it names the districts and, where a district is not defined by a compass line, lists the towns inside it.
- Berkshire, three districts. The middle district, office in Pittsfield, comprising Pittsfield, Becket, Dalton, Hinsdale, Lee, Lenox, Otis, Peru, Richmond, Stockbridge, Tyringham and Washington; the northern district, office in Adams, being the part of the county north of the middle district; the southern district, office in Great Barrington, being the part south of it.
- Bristol, three districts. The southern district, office in New Bedford, comprising New Bedford, Acushnet, Dartmouth, Fairhaven and Westport; the Fall River district, comprising Fall River, Freetown, Somerset and Swansea; the northern district, office in Taunton, the remainder of the county.
- Essex, two districts. The northern district, office in Lawrence, comprising Lawrence, Andover, Methuen and North Andover; the southern district, office in Salem, the remainder.
- Middlesex, two districts. The northern district, office in Lowell, comprising Lowell, Billerica, Carlisle, Chelmsford, Dracut, Dunstable, Tewksbury, Tyngsborough, Westford and Wilmington; the southern district, office in Cambridge, the remainder.
- Worcester, two districts. The northern district, office in Fitchburg, comprising Fitchburg, Ashburnham, Leominster, Lunenburg and Westminster; the Worcester district, the remainder.
The section closes by giving every remaining county an office for the registry of deeds in one of its shire towns. Twelve districts inside the five divided counties, plus nine undivided counties with one office each, is twenty-one. That figure is counted here from the statute rather than lifted from a directory.
Why the town lists are worth reading rather than summarising
Look at how narrow two of them are. In Essex, only Lawrence, Andover, Methuen and North Andover go to Lawrence; everything else in the county – Lynn, Haverhill, Gloucester, Newburyport, Peabody – goes to Salem. In Middlesex, ten named towns go to Lowell and the rest of the county, including Cambridge, Somerville, Newton, Framingham and Lexington, goes to Cambridge. A researcher who guesses “northern Essex” or “north of Boston” from a map will guess wrong a good deal of the time, and the wrong district produces a clean nil result rather than an error message.
The register, and the six-year term
Chapter 36, section 2 requires that in each district, and in each county not divided into districts, a register of deeds be elected who is a resident of that district or county, for a term of six years beginning the first Wednesday of January after election. A long term with a residency requirement is part of why local practice, indexing habit and imaging depth differ noticeably between neighbouring districts of the same county. If the job is really to place a person rather than to follow an instrument, our page on finding someone in Massachusetts sets out how that is approached.
The County Layer Was Taken Apart, and the Registries Moved First
Chapter 34B gives the dates, and two of the registry transfers happened ahead of the abolition.
Anyone reading Massachusetts records from outside soon notices that the county behaves less like a government than it does elsewhere. That is not an impression. Chapter 34B, section 1 abolishes named county governments outright and prints the dates:
- Middlesex county, 11 July 1997.
- Hampden and Worcester counties, 1 July 1998.
- Hampshire county, 1 January 1999 – but the operation and management of its jail, house of correction and registry of deeds, and of the property occupied primarily by the sheriff, registry of deeds and trial courts, transferred to the Commonwealth effective 1 September 1998, four months earlier.
- Essex county, 1 July 1999.
- Berkshire county, 1 July 2000 – but the registries of deeds of Suffolk and Berkshire, and the property they primarily occupy, transferred to the Commonwealth effective 1 July 1999, a year before Berkshire itself was abolished.
The same section adds a trigger: abolition may come 30 days after the commissioner of revenue certifies in writing that a county has failed to make a required payment on an outstanding bond or note. Chapter 34B, section 8 then sets out how the Commonwealth recovers what it paid, and its schedules of liabilities and assets name the funds appropriated for operating the Berkshire registries of deeds in fiscal year 2000 and the revenue those registries took that year.
What we do not claim here
Published summaries give varying totals for how many Massachusetts county governments were abolished – seven is common, eight appears too. Section 1 names six, and other counties were abolished by other acts we did not read. So this page states what the section says and publishes no total, because a count assembled across statutes nobody enumerated is exactly the kind of figure that travels for years after it stops being right.
Every acre is in a city or a town
One thing Massachusetts does not have is unincorporated land. Parsing the Census Bureau’s 2020 county-subdivision reference file for this state and classifying by the legal-name suffix gives 293 towns and 58 cities – 351 municipalities. The file also carries six rows reading “County subdivisions not defined”, which are a statistical placeholder rather than places, and are excluded from that count here for exactly that reason.
The practical consequence is the reverse of what a researcher meets in the northern New England states. There is always a municipal layer: a town or city clerk, an assessor, a collector, a board of health. For a locate that is a reliable second and third source against which a registry finding can be corroborated – which matters because Massachusetts’s registry map, as the previous section showed, is not the map anyone expects. The western part of the state is covered in more local detail on our Springfield skip tracing page, and the eastern corridor on our Boston metro page.
Which Massachusetts Index Holds the Answer
The right column is the provision that decides what a result from that index means.
Index in the middle. On the right, the section of the General Laws that governs what a finding – or an absence – from it is worth.
| What you want | Which index | What governs it |
|---|---|---|
| Deeds and mortgages, recorded land | The registry for that district 21 Districts | c. 36, s.12: each district is deemed a county for all registry purposes. |
| The same, registered land | The registered land side of the same registry | c. 185, s.56: a court-directed index of complaints and judgments of registration. |
| Whether a registered title is clean | The certificate of title | c. 185, s.46: free of all but the noted encumbrances and seven exceptions. |
| An unrecorded occupancy | Nowhere in the registry | c. 185, s.46, Fourth: a lease of up to seven years binds without appearing. |
| A claim built up by occupation | Not available on registered land | c. 185, s.53: no adverse possession or prescription against a registered owner. |
| Which town goes to which register | The statute itself | c. 36, s.1 lists the towns in each district of the five divided counties. |
| An address for a protected person | The state secretary, as designated address | c. 9A, s.6: the application and supporting materials are not a public record. |
Six Ways a Massachusetts Search Comes Back Falsely Clean
Four of them are the district map. Two of them are the second land system.
A County Searched Instead of a District
Five counties are divided by statute. A county-level request has no destination in those five.
A District Guessed From a Map
Essex north is four named towns, not the northern half. The statute lists them and geography does not.
Registered Land Never Searched
A recorded-land search does not reach a certificate of title. The parcel is in one system or the other.
A Tenancy Assumed to Be On Record
A lease of seven years or less binds a registered owner without ever appearing on the certificate.
Bristol Reduced to Two Offices
Fall River is a district in its own right alongside New Bedford and Taunton. Three, not two.
A County Office Expected to Exist
Several county governments were abolished between 1997 and 2000. The registry survived; the county did not.
How a Massachusetts File Is Put Together
System first, district second, municipality third, and every gap explained.
Fix the Purpose in Writing
The lawful basis, the requester and the intended use of any address go on the file before a search begins, so the work can account for itself later.
Decide Recorded or Registered
Whether a parcel sits in the ordinary record or on a Land Court certificate decides which index applies. Both are checked where the answer is not obvious.
Route by the Statutory Town List
In the five divided counties the district is read off chapter 36, section 1 rather than inferred from a map, and the district is named in the report.
Corroborate at the Municipal Layer
Every Massachusetts acre sits in a city or town, so a registry finding can be tested against a clerk, an assessor or a collector rather than left standing alone.
Who Instructs Us in Massachusetts
Six that recur, and the provision each of them meets.
Firms New to Registered Land
Counsel meeting a certificate of title for the first time
Creditors Across District Lines
Filings that sit in one district of a county and not the other
Constables and Servers
A confirmed current address in a densely packed municipal map
Probate and Missing Beneficiaries
Old family holdings that may sit on the registered side
Lenders on a Written-Down Loan
An account already in default, never a live application
Owners After a Tenancy Ends
A departed occupant and a sum outstanding, never a screening question
Three Limits, and One Correction to the Ranking Set
The competitor pages for this state publish a source list we do not use. That is worth stating rather than implying.
What we do not obtain
Several pages ranking beside this one describe the trade’s raw material as including credit header reports, information given on a loan or credit card application, cell phone records and utility records. That is not our source list. We work from the public record and from data held under licence for permitted purposes, and nothing else. Bank and brokerage account contents are neither obtained nor reported; reaching those takes a subpoena or a court order that your attorney applies for. The lawful basis for a Massachusetts request goes on the file before the request is made. The same source list governs the deeper end of the work: our background investigation services are built from public records and licensed data on those terms and no others, which is why they cannot be turned into a hiring or tenancy decision either.
Not a consumer reporting agency, and a registry file is not a screening product
Because lenders and property owners are named in the grid a few screens up, this belongs out in the open. This practice is not a consumer reporting agency, has never held that registration, and what we produce in this state is not a consumer report. That closes four uses of it, while the file is with us and after it reaches you: deciding a tenancy, deciding to hire or promote, deciding to advance credit, deciding to underwrite insurance. Tenancy checks and pre-employment checks arrive here regularly and both are refused. Congress placed those decisions behind a regulated product carrying adverse-action obligations and a route for the subject to dispute what it says, and this firm does not build that product. A Massachusetts landlord or lender comes to us at the other end of the story – the tenancy has ended, the loan has been written down, the sum is already owed. Where an application is live in front of you today, a screening provider is the right referral and it is the one you will get.
What this work is, and what it is not
Our work is narrower than investigation and the line is worth keeping visible rather than blurring it to win an instruction. There is no surveillance, no following anybody, no questioning of neighbours at the door, and no reaching for a document down some channel the public cannot use. Public records and licensed data are the entire raw material of this practice. Where a Massachusetts matter genuinely requires licensed investigative work, a licensed agency and a declined instruction is the honest answer. What the practice actually covers is laid out on our skip tracing services page. Take this one as general information about Massachusetts records practice; legal advice it is not, and legal questions are for your attorney.
Instructions We Turn Down, and What Chapter 9A Closes
The programme’s application file is not a public record, and the statute says so in terms.
Massachusetts runs its address confidentiality programme under chapter 9A of the General Laws, administered by the state secretary. Section 1 defines “abuse” by reference to chapter 209A, defines “address” as a residential, school or work address as specified on the application, and defines a programme participant as somebody certified by the secretary. Several features bear directly on how a Massachusetts address should be read.
- Two routes in, with different thresholds. Under section 2(1)(a) an adult, a parent or guardian for a minor, or a guardian for an incapacitated person applies “upon recommendation of an application assistant”. Under section 2(1)(b) individuals engaged in the provision, facilitation or promotion of legally-protected health care activity may apply directly, and the statute states expressly that in those cases no recommendation of an application assistant is required.
- The file is closed by statute. Section 6 provides that the participant’s application and supporting materials “shall not be a public record and shall be exempt from the mandatory disclosure requirements of clause Twenty-sixth of section 7 of chapter 4 and section 10 of chapter 66.” There is no public-records route to it, and asking for one is asking the secretary to break a statute.
- A name change ends certification. Under section 3, if a participant obtains a name change they lose certification, though they may apply for recertification on documentation of the legal name change. Certification may also be cancelled where the residential street address changes without notice to the secretary in the manner set by regulation.
So these instructions are refused
We decline them. Where what is really wanted is the present whereabouts of a former partner, of somebody who obtained protection from a Massachusetts court, of a participant in the address confidentiality programme, or of anybody whose distance from the requester looks chosen rather than accidental, the answer is no – to the instruction as it stands, to a narrowed version of it, and to referring it to a firm that would accept it. Neither the wording nor the account of the relationship changes that. Having spent several thousand words on how Massachusetts records can be worked, this page owes its reader an equally plain account of what it will not work them for.
Why the name-change rule matters to somebody reading a record
Section 3 has a consequence worth stating carefully. Because a legal name change ends certification until recertification is granted, a participant’s protection can lapse for reasons that have nothing to do with any change in their safety. An address that becomes visible in a Massachusetts record after a period of silence is therefore not evidence that a protection was withdrawn, that it was never justified, or that circumstances have changed. It may be an administrative gap. We do not treat a reappearing address as an invitation, and a request built on one is declined like any other.
Reading this because somebody may be trying to find you
You have come to the wrong firm, and saying so is worth more than selling you anything. The programme sits with the state secretary and is entered through an application assistant, except in the health-care category the statute treats differently, and a local advocacy or victim services organisation can help with the application and with everything the application does not reach. What a Massachusetts court file discloses is a question for the court that holds it. We are not qualified in safety planning and will not improvise it. Read nothing here as advice on shielding your own address; it is an account of how the Commonwealth arranges public records.
Service of process is work we accept
None of that excludes matters that touch families. A constable or server holding a Massachusetts docket number, a named party and an attorney behind the instruction is describing a step a court already began, and completing it is the outcome the court is waiting on. The dividing line is whether an outsider could test the stated purpose against a court file, or whether the purpose exists only to undo somebody’s own decision to be harder to reach – and that gets asked and answered in writing before a Massachusetts file is opened. Where the live question is how much time a claim has left, our note on the Massachusetts debt collection statute of limitations covers it.
What a Massachusetts Report Names
Every finding carries the registry district it came from – not the county – so the same instrument can be retrieved again without us. Where a parcel sits on the registered side, the report says so and says that the certificate of title governs what the result means. Districts not searched are listed as not searched, and in the five divided counties that distinction is stated explicitly rather than folded into a county name. Where a conclusion would depend on an occupancy that chapter 185 allows to bind without appearing of record, the report flags the limit instead of overreaching. Nothing enters the file but public record and licensed data, no Massachusetts search begins before its lawful basis is written down, and those have been the terms of the work since 2004.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many registries of deeds does Massachusetts have?
Twenty-one, counted from the statute rather than from a directory. G.L. c. 36, s.1 divides five counties into districts: Berkshire into three, with offices at Pittsfield, Adams and Great Barrington; Bristol into three, at New Bedford, Fall River and Taunton; Essex into two, at Lawrence and Salem; Middlesex into two, at Lowell and Cambridge; and Worcester into two, at Fitchburg and Worcester. That is twelve. Each remaining county is then given an office for the registry of deeds in one of its shire towns, which adds nine. Section 12 makes the point legally: in all things relating to the register or registry of deeds, each district is deemed a county.
Which Massachusetts registry covers my town?
In the five divided counties, the statute lists the towns rather than drawing a line on a map, and guessing from geography goes wrong often. Essex northern district is only Lawrence, Andover, Methuen and North Andover; everything else in Essex goes to Salem. Middlesex northern is Lowell, Billerica, Carlisle, Chelmsford, Dracut, Dunstable, Tewksbury, Tyngsborough, Westford and Wilmington; the rest of the county, Cambridge included, goes to Cambridge. Berkshire middle is Pittsfield, Becket, Dalton, Hinsdale, Lee, Lenox, Otis, Peru, Richmond, Stockbridge, Tyringham and Washington, with the north and south districts defined relative to it. Bristol southern is New Bedford, Acushnet, Dartmouth, Fairhaven and Westport; the Fall River district is Fall River, Freetown, Somerset and Swansea; Taunton takes the remainder.
What is registered land in Massachusetts?
It is land whose title was determined by the Land Court and now sits on a certificate of title, held and indexed separately from ordinary recorded land within the same registry. G.L. c. 185, s.56 puts the recorder, under the direction of the court, in charge of indexes of all complaints and all judgments of registration and of classifying every paper filed relating to registered titles, with the court adopting the forms of certificate and memoranda used. A search of the recorded side does not reach the registered side, so establishing which system a parcel is in comes before the search rather than after it.
Can you claim adverse possession of registered land in Massachusetts?
No. G.L. c. 185, s.53 provides that no title to registered land, or easement or other right in it, in derogation of the title of the registered owner, shall be acquired by prescription or adverse possession, and that no right of way by necessity is implied under a conveyance of registered land. That is why the registered-land record is a more complete account of who holds what than a recorded-land search can be: on the recorded side, occupation over time can generate interests that were never filed, and on the registered side the statute forecloses it.
Does a Massachusetts certificate of title show everything?
Almost, and the exceptions are enumerated. G.L. c. 185, s.46 provides that a certificate holder, and every later purchaser for value in good faith, takes free of all encumbrances except those noted on the certificate and seven listed categories: federal or Commonwealth liens not required by law to appear of record; taxes within three years of commitment to the collector; ways laid out under c. 82, s.21 where the boundary is not stated as determined; any lease for a term not exceeding seven years; liability for betterments or other statutory liens; federal tax and other federal liens filed in the Commonwealth; and Commonwealth tax liens. The fourth is the one that matters to a locate – a tenancy of up to seven years can bind without appearing anywhere in the registry.
Do Massachusetts counties still exist?
Some county governments do not. G.L. c. 34B, s.1 abolishes named county governments on stated dates: Middlesex on 11 July 1997; Hampden and Worcester on 1 July 1998; Hampshire on 1 January 1999; Essex on 1 July 1999; and Berkshire on 1 July 2000. Two registry transfers ran ahead of their county’s abolition – Hampshire’s registry of deeds moved to the Commonwealth effective 1 September 1998, and the Suffolk and Berkshire registries effective 1 July 1999. We do not publish a total for how many Massachusetts county governments were abolished, because section 1 names six and other counties were abolished by other acts we have not read at source.
How many cities and towns are in Massachusetts?
Three hundred and fifty-one, counted here from the Census Bureau’s 2020 county-subdivision reference file for this state: 293 towns and 58 cities. The same file carries six rows reading “County subdivisions not defined”, which are a statistical placeholder rather than places and are excluded from that figure for that reason. The practical point for a search is that Massachusetts has no unincorporated land at all, so there is always a municipal layer – a clerk, an assessor, a collector – against which a registry finding can be corroborated.
Can I request a Massachusetts confidentiality program file?
No, and the statute forecloses it rather than leaving it to discretion. G.L. c. 9A, s.6 provides that a programme participant’s application and supporting materials shall not be a public record and shall be exempt from the mandatory disclosure requirements of clause Twenty-sixth of section 7 of chapter 4 and section 10 of chapter 66. Chapter 9A also runs two application routes: section 2(1)(a) requires the recommendation of an application assistant, while section 2(1)(b) lets individuals engaged in the provision, facilitation or promotion of legally-protected health care activity apply without one. We decline any instruction that would require the file, and one framed to work around it is declined the same way.
Open a Massachusetts File
Send us the name, any address history you hold even if it is only a town, and what the research is meant to achieve. We will establish whether a parcel is recorded or registered before searching either, read the district off chapter 36 rather than off a map, name the district in every finding, corroborate at the municipal layer that always exists here, and list the districts left unsearched. Where a conclusion would rest on something the General Laws allow to bind without appearing of record, the report will say so. Send enough to work from and a first written read is generally with you within 24 hours. If you would sooner sound the question out before committing it to a file, get in touch and we will say plainly whether the Commonwealth’s records are likely to hold the answer.
