  • Henry Frank Dymek’s birth is recorded in vol. 636, page 619, no. 2995 in the ledger for the city of Worcester,
  • His name is recorded as Henry Dymek, a male child born in Worcester,

Earlier this year, the Massachusetts vital records for the years 1916-1920 were transferred from the Massachusetts Registry of Vital Records and Statistics to the Massachusetts Archives .  The website of the Massachusetts Archives states that these records will not be available for public viewing until after they have been digitized by FamilySearch .  When I arrived at the Massachusetts Archives on July 1, 2011, I was told that some of the records were, in fact, available on microfilm .  This record was one of those available .  The microfilm copy was poor, as evidenced by the images shown here .  Fortunately, the photocopy I have is readable, even though portions of the digital image are not.
