We Are Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. This private reference cannot retrieve records, certify copies, verify a person at an address, or alter an official roll.

Finding the Right Custodian
These are the direct routes for common Somerville record questions:
- A street or parcel question: start with the Somerville street directory.
- An older directory volume or household: use the Somerville city directory collections.
- One named person: follow the Somerville resident lookup sequence.
- Office contacts and record roles: consult Somerville resident records offices.
- An unavailable online record: make a focused request to the custodian under Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c. 66 §10 and 950 CMR 32.00.
