Welcome to New England Cousins. My name is Ruy Cardoso and I have been
researching New England ancestry for the past ten years, particularly in northeastern
Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire, and southern Maine.

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.

Genealogical research with a focus on northeastern New England

If the genealogical bug once bites you, you are a doomed man, and never again will you be happy except when attempting to trace the elusive ancestor." -- Donald Lines Jacobus, Genealogy as Pastime and Profession (Second Edition Revised), p. 41, copyright 1968 by Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. |
