: Has anyone ever requested a family certificate and how long is too long to wait for one? I wrote to Vallemare di Cepagatti back in August '99 and I still have not received a response. Should I send a follow-up letter now; and if so, can someone direct me to an "Italian form letter"? I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

To all of you out there, don't despair. I have just received my family history from Cepagatti. It felt like a Christmas gift as I was opening the envelope. I received a covering letter from the town administration, a large calendar (2000) with photos of Cepagatti, a family tree of my Paolini line, 2 photos of Paolini family members in Cepagatti, a personal letter from a distant cousin and the 3 birth registrations that I had requested. And they returned the money that I had sent them, saying that they provided all this information freely on their part because I was searching the land of my ancestors.

I feel truly grateful and so appreciative that they went all out for me. I am now ready to forge ahead and continue my research.
