NNRG-P, National Archives and Records Administration, 7th and Pennsylvania Ave NW , Washington DC 20408

Use this address to request the necessary forms to order the pension records of Revolutionary and Civil War veterans.

Massachusetts Archives at Columbia Point, 220 Morrissey Blvd, Boston MA 02125

Use this address to request vital records of Massachusetts for the years 1841-1900 only. They also accept requests for probate records, but it is my understanding they just forward the letter to the Supreme Judicial Court (address below).

Supreme Judicial Court, Archives & Records Preservation, 1300 New Court House, Boston MA 02108

Use this address to request Massachusetts probate records. Records start in the 1600s. Make sure to state the name and approximate date of death when requesting a probate record.  They will send you a bill which you must pay before they mail you the photocopies.  If your request is for an extremely old or "popular" record, they will refer you to microfilm of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  Examples of "popular" records are those of Mayflower passengers and early Plymouth Colony, or those relating to the Salem Witchcraft trials.
