Historical & Genealogical Research

LOOKING FOR YOUR WATERTOWN ANCESTORS?

The Historical Society of Watertown offers a research service for those looking for Watertown ancestors. You do not have to be a resident of Watertown to enjoy this service. The only requirement is that your ancestor be a former Watertown resident (1630-present).

We have access to all of the old town records and ship passenger lists. You will be given a printed document, containing the information in a clear chronological order.

We ask for a small donation for this service, to help support our efforts. For further information, please call or email:
