I am not sure a gen. society was involved in that. Mass. and Maine
begun to hold state vital records in about 1850 (1841 for Mass.).
At the same time, they put in book format all previous records,
i.e. when I visited state archives in Augusta, ME, 10? years ago,
there were no original vital records but only those books. It is
like if those books could be considered as the original records
or as authenticated copies.
