“Last year, Rich assisted me with finding and obtaining an A-file for my grandmother who arrived in the U.S. from Honduras. Rich is always so friendly and he made the process so easy. There was a treasure trove of information in the file! I cannot recommend Rich enough, you won't be disappointed!”

“I started working with Rich 2 years ago. Over the past two years, while the process for getting dual citizenship can be difficult, I will say unequivocally, Rich was absolutely fantastic to work with! If anyone is interested in getting dual citizenship, the process can take a little time and at times, seem daunting; but Rich made the process very simple and straightforward. For example, his extensive contacts in Italy helped acquire the paperwork and stamps necessary to prove my lineage. Additionally, he is very familiar with process here in the states to acquire various certificates and forms as well as knowing time frames and exact costs for acquiring whatever is needed. More important, he stays engaged! There is no ‘black hole’ with Rich. He will gladly sit down with you along the way and show you exactly where you are and what you have left. Finally, prior to any interaction with external parties, Rich will always prepare you and ensure you have everything you need in a very organized manner It has been a long journey but I can’t thank Rich enough. He could just do this ‘as a job’ but with Rich and his passion for this subject, I always felt he cared about helping me, and that translated into his level of effort. Again, I highly recommend Rich for anyone considering dual citizenship or just interested in researching their genealogy.”

“I wanted to apply for dual citizenship with Italy (via descent or jure sanguinis) but I wasn't sure if I really was eligible, how to locate all the paperwork, and how to apply. A good friend recommended Rich and we worked together on the project. Rich assured me I was eligible, explained the process, provided a checklist of documents, and was there for me every step of the way.”

“About 3 years ago, when I needed to go deeper into my paternal ancestral line's origins, I was referred to Rich by another genealogist. He hit the ground running and his familiarity and ease with both domestic and foreign sources and systems were immediately apparent. Results began pouring in, and Rich confirmed, verified, tracked down further supporting documentation, and analyzed all of it before following each link to the next. His intimate knowledge of various types of immigration-related files and their sources fleshes out my family's stories well beyond what there is to discover in genealogical records alone, in ways that would not have been possible otherwise. Rich's dedication to getting into all findable records as deeply as possible is impressive, and invaluable to anyone seeking as fully developed an ancestral story as possible. He is easy to work with, fully committed and personally involved. He will pin down every detail in its proper place in a full history.”

“About 15 months ago, I began the process of researching my Italian ancestors and discovered an unstoppable researcher named Rich Venezia. He was able to help me unravel my Italian ancestry back to the early 1700s. He helped me collect all the documents to apply for Italian citizenship. Rich proved invaluable in finding documents. His ability to work through Italian handwriting and indexes is something I could never master. If you are wanting to dig really deep into your family history, I will heartily endorse his company, Rich Roots.”

“Rich Venezia is the perfect genealogical researcher--tenacious, knowledgable, and caring. What he found out about my family and its long history in this country was astonishing. Thanks to Rich, I not only know about my maternal grandfather and his family, but also their connection to the history of this country. What a gift!”

“It’s an incredible amount of information... It is so exciting to have so much genealogy for my husband's family. When we started his project last March, we had his four grandparents' Americanized names and “Italy”. It is astounding to have come so far in less than a year thanks to your amazing research. It’s not possible to express his excitement at having a family history. You are definitely an asset to our research and we would never have gotten this far without you.”
-Lyn I.
“Rich found more about my family in 10 hours than I found in six months of searching Ancestry.com and other online data bases... This guy is the real deal. He’s fast, accurate and even makes suggestions for additional areas of research I wouldn’t have thought of. Hire him, you won’t be disappointed.”
