Welcome to
Massachusetts Document Retrieval!

We are a fast, private, professional document search, retrieval and delivery business started in 1997.

Unlike some national "people or public record search" firms, we specialize in retrieving only those documents created and housed in Massachusetts.


Our web site has been on-line since 1997 and customers quite literally span the globe.

Customers include probate lawyers, private investigators, historians, journalists, authors, family genealogists, insurance companies, bank corporations and other similar types of businesses and individuals.

Our primary strength is in searching for 19th, 20th and 21st century records and events which took place within the state of Massachusetts.

 

SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

 

How do I obtain a birth, marriage or death record or certificate from 1931 and up through the present?
What about birth, marriage and or death records from 1841 - 1930?
Massachusetts Genealogy: How do you locate vital records before 1841?
What information is actually reported in a Massachusetts vital record?

Our services include the search, retrieval and delivery of Massachusetts vital records, probate case files, United States citizenship and naturalization records and federal and state census information. Custom research can also include in-depth newspaper research, as well as city directory look-up service for mid-19th and 20th century town and city directories.

In addition, we provide custom tailored genealogical research services. This includes not only specialized research but also the development of pedigree charts, family group sheets and ancestral wall charts. 

Send us an e-mail to request a specific research project.

These custom services include not only on-site research and complete source documentation, but also a professional analysis of the findings and various written reports regarding your project.

Orders for individual documents, such as a birth certificate, a marriage or death certificate, are all easily submitted directly from this web site. As a private research organization located within the heart of most major Massachusetts repositories, we pride ourselves on fast delivery time.

We deliver hard copy documents across town, across state or around the world. As an alternative, abstracted, scanned and/or digitized records can also be sent directly to your computer as email attachments. [This electronic delivery service does not apply to certified vital records.]

Our web site is a two-fold design. Its primary intention is to assist researchers who live outside of the area and need to utilize our services. The site is also designed to assist those who have the good fortune of personally visiting various archive centers throughout the state.


We are active members in the following professional, business, genealogical and historical related societies:

  • National Genealogical Society
  • New England Historic Genealogical Society
  • The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society
  • American-French Genealogical Society
  • American-Canadian Genealogical Society
  • This web site is not affiliated with, nor are we employed by, the state of Massachusetts, the state court system or the federal government.
