Welcome to New England Cousins. My name is Ruy Cardoso, and I have been a Certified
Genealogist (SM) since July 2010. (See www.bcgcertification.org for additional details about
the certifying board.) I am also a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists and
have been researching New England ancestry for the past ten years, particularly in northeastern
Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire, and southern Maine. My experience also includes
some research in Connecticut, Vermont, and New York.

How I Can Help You
With the ever-growing availability of online records, many researchers today (including me) are
used to doing much of their genealogical work from home or office.
But because of my convenient geographic location just outside Boston, I also have easy access to
several important local repositories: the New England Historic Genealogical Society, the National
Archives and Records Administration (Northeast Region), the Massachusetts Archives, the
Massachusetts Registry of Vital Records and Statistics, the Boston Public Library, and more. All
of these repositories contain many records that are NOT online, and my years of personal
research in this area have provided me substantial experience with many of them.
If you need in-depth research in this area but lack the time or patience to complete it, or if you
simply need the services of someone closer to your ancestral New England home, please give me
a call or send me an email to see if I can help you. In addition, please be sure to look over the
rest of this website -- you'll get a better sense of my background and experience and how I can
best assist you.
I look forward to working with you.
