The Middlesex North Registry of Deeds is a treasure trove of information for genealogists, homeowners curious about the history of their dwellings, and anyone else interested in local history from the earliest English settlement to the present day. With more than 10 million pages of land records dating from the 1650s freely available online, the registry’s website, www.lowelldeeds.com, is well worth adding your internet browser’s favorites.

 On Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. at the Pollard Memorial Library’s ground floor meeting room (401 Merrimack Street, Lowell), Register of Deeds Richard P. Howe Jr. will explain and demonstrate how the registry’s records are stored and indexed and will provide a lengthy list of helpful hints that will enable you to make maximum use of the registry’s holdings.
