Heritage Research

A documented window into your past: Stop wondering about the who and where of your family story. Whether you are looking to honor your ancestors or build a foundation for future claims, you’ll have a clear map of your ancestral origins and the peace of mind that your history is preserved.

You'll get a professional research log, deciphering of records where appropriate, and a document-supported family tree.

Lineage & Citizenship Recovery

Reclaim the citizenship or status that was lost to time or outdated legislation. You’ll have a strategic partner to navigate the complex path of citizenship recovery, tribal enrollment, or citizenship by descent. Avoid hitting bureaucratic walls and identify a practical roadmap to obtain the rights you are entitled to.

You'll get an eligibility audit, a specialized recovery roadmap, and expert guidance through legislative changes, such as recent options for “Lost Canadians” via C-3 and Italian citizenship by descent.

Document Logistics & Readiness

You’ll get assistance in assembling the proof required for your official applications without having to figure out how to navigate archives and requirements that often differ by each agency and locality.

You'll get a review of your vital records and documentation, a professionally organized application dossier, and logistical support for missing requirements.

Why work with me?

S. La Rocca

I am a lineage specialist with a unique focus on cross-border ancestry. My work is driven by a genuine love for helping people connect with their past and secure the rights they have earned. For me, lineage research is more than just data—it is a complex puzzle I truly enjoy solving, turning fragmented history into a clear, documented legacy.

With personal experience navigating the complex Canadian, Italian, and Ukrainian citizenship processes, I understand the high stakes and deep emotional value of this work. I am fluent in English, Swedish, and Japanese, with extensive experience navigating European and North American archives. I combine these linguistic skills with deep research expertise to help you navigate the bureaucracy and reclaim your ancestral story.

Results & Recovered Histories

I help my clients break through archival barriers and secure documentation they were unable to uncover on their own, often solving in weeks what had previously been stalled for years.

"LaRocca identified Canadian citizenship rights I didn’t even know I had under the new C-3 laws. The detail in the research log turned the process into a true collaboration. It was the most productive investment I’ve made in recovering my citizenship."

@ahodler

"We initially reached out regarding Italian citizenship, but La Rocca discovered we also qualified for Canadian citizenship. They corrected errors in our family’s oral history and handled the complex process of amending and ordering certified records for both applications. They even found photographs of the first houses our ancestors lived in after arriving in America!"

@lhughes

"Beyond the technical expertise, La Rocca provided clarity on our family’s journey through the Soviet and Nazi eras. While documenting our lineage for Ukrainian citizenship, their research uncovered the real impact of those historical shifts on our ancestors. It wasn’t just a search for records; it was a personal process that clarified our family’s story."

Simple Process

Step 1: Discovery Call

Everything starts with a free 15-minute consultation. We’ll discuss what you know about your family tree and what you hope to achieve. By the end of this call, you’ll know if you have a viable path for citizenship or research to be done, and which service fits your needs.

Step 2: Research & Strategy

Once we’ve identified your goals, I dive into the archives. Whether it's tracking down handwritten census records or a 1905 homestead grant, you get regular updates through a research log. I can handle the complex detective work so you don’t have to, or simply provide regular guidance for your own research.

Step 3: Portfolio Assembly

Most projects wrap up with an assembly of documents. You may want help with a professionally organized dossier of records or just another set of eyes on your application. Whether you are mailing a package to a government agency or presenting research to your family, you’ll have everything you need in a clean, high-trust format.

Transparent Pricing

Your journey begins with a free 15-minute discovery call to confirm eligibility and map out a strategy. To move from theory to results, I offer an initial 2-hour research package for $70; while this targeted deep dive can provide the required 'missing link' for some, it also serves as the essential foundation for more complex lineage claims.

Following the initial phase, all ongoing research, application support, and document procurement are billed at a flat $35 per hour. Please note that third-party government fees for official certificates or shipping are not included.

Let’s Start with a Conversation

The path to citizenship or a completed family legacy often starts with a single missing document. Whether you are navigating the new Canadian C-3 regulations or reclaiming your European heritage, I am here to help you solve the puzzle.
