Testimonials

I have been working with Aliza and her Roots in the Boot team for a couple of years now and am always amazed at how excited she gets when she tells about the things that she has found. She treats all her searches as if they are her own family, and truly respects, admires, and is is awe of our Italian ancestors that struggled through poverty and hardship, to make their way to America to make a better life for their children and grandchildren. Aliza really adds a personal touch to her research. As a matter of fact she has adopted my Gr Gr Gr Grandfather Rocco as one of her own! Just ask her about good ole’ Rocco

Aliza and the Roots in the Boot team are always very professional, and honest and upfront on what they can and what they may not be able to find out. Even with the most difficult searches, Aliza usually has a trick or two up her sleeve

Roots in the Boot is definitely the way to go if you want to discover your Italian heritage.

Thanks to Aliza’s research I was able to find cousins in Sicily who I didnt even know existed until we started this project and now they are a part of my family. And the best part was she traced my family back to the 1700s! Cant wait to start a second project.
~Nick Cucinotta, Massachusetts

We found Roots in the Boot almost by accident, however, it proved to be no accident at all. It was truly Divine Intervention. We were desperate to find documents from our ancestors in Italy to gain citizenship for our son who aspires to play in the European Basketball League. For over 1 1/2 years and a lot of disappointment and money, we simply could not locate the documents needed. Our sources were at a dead end.

After contacting Aliza at Roots in the Boot on a Sunday afternoon, within 3 hours she had more information than we had gotten in 18 months!! Her access to databases and thoroughness were enough to give us hope that maybe all was not lost. Before long she was telling us what went wrong in our original searches, and approached our case with such vigor that we felt as though she needed those papers as much as we did!

Only a few weeks after our first contact she was able to call us with the good news, everything we needed had been obtained and would be in our hands within seven days!

Words cannot express the gratitude that we feel for her knowledge, professionalism, and kindness towards us. It was a blessing that we found her.

Aliza’s attention to detail and perseverance is second to none. I highly recommend her.
~Paul, New York

Aliza and her team at Roots in the Boot did an excellent job locating my great grandparents hometown. We knew my great grandparents were from Calabria but did not have any additional information. Within a few days, Aliza was able to locate the exact area they were from and we have been able to obtain their birth certificates. All of my emails and questions were answered immediately. I highly recommend Roots in the Boot. You will be impressed by their professionalism, response time, and research. Thanks Aliza!

I had been doing genealogical research to solve family mysteries for years when I contacted Aliza for help in finding answers to questions about my Calabrian ancestors that had proven beyond my reach. Within a few weeks, Aliza had discovered facts about my family that both excited and informed me. She is a total professional and very thorough and personable in her approach. Thank you so much Aliza!

Aliza did an excellent job finding my great-grandparent's birth certificate. My case was small but she took care anyway. She was always answering to my questions quickly and keeping me posted about the news. She is really professional. I'm very happy I chose her for this job. Thank you very much Aliza!.
~Ricardo Castiglione, Buenos Aires, Argentina

I used Roots in the Boot for my tree on Ancestry and could not be more pleased. It was a very intensive job and they kept me up to date with the progress the entire time. Additionally, they even uncovered errors that a previous company had made and corrected them! Every update from them brought me renwed excitement over the history they uncovered. They are professional and share my interest in family history. They even attached copies of the original documents to my tree for me! I will be using them again as this is a lifelong project for me.
