Testimonials
October 16, 2024

To Whom it May Concern: The purpose of this letter is to commend the outstanding efforts of Mr. Vince Roman on behalf of The Bringing Eliza Home Project, a campaign to repatriate the remains of President James Monroe's eldest daughter, Elizabeth Kortright Monroe Hay. Mr. Roman's expert skills helped locate living descendants of Mrs. Hay that others had not been able to find. Thanks to Mr. Roman's efforts, these descendants were able to participate in the repatriation process as required by the City of Paris. Their approval was key to the success of the campaign. The Bringing Eliza Home Project was most pleased with Mr. Roman's professionalism, diligence, and courtesy, and would recommend him without reservation to anyone seeking assistance with genealogy research.

Sincerely,
Barbara VornDick
Coordinator, The Bringing Eliza Home Project

Vince Roman is truly amazing. Thanks to his incredible skills and dedication, he found my biological father through my Ancestry.com DNA test. He explained everything clearly, stayed in touch, and made the entire process feel personal and exciting. I can’t recommend Vince enough. He completely changed my life for the better!
