    1. Re: [MASUFFOL] need to find researcher in Boston
    2. Ann W
    3. Hi, Dora- Boston does have a genealogical society - here is the website. http://www.newenglandancestors.org/ Here is the website for some researchers -you might check them out http://www.mass-doc.com/vitals_before_1841.htm Also, the Mass. Archives is a wonderful resource, but if you need info quickly, it won't work for you right now. The Mass. State Library is also a great place -they are limited for staff, but they may be able to help you. http://www.mass-doc.com/vitals_before_1841.htm Good luck, Ann

What I really want, though, is his and Margaret's dod, and maybe where they are buried. I am planning a trip to Boston in the spring, and would really like to not have to spend an inordinate amount of time at the county clerks office. My biological mother was their daughter Margaret. and, in 1930, another daughter, June was born. She later married a Perry. My mother married Dick Harvey and moved to Ashtabula OH, as did Dicks parents, Claude and Mary. In fact, my biological father was born in the city in Michigan that I live in. Small world. I have plenty of history on the Harvey family, but very limited on the Rusk family.
