Ciao!! Could someone please write a letter in Italian requesting the birth records for my great-grandfather, Marco DeFilippis, for me? He was born January 22, 1869. He lived in Gaeta, Italy. I don't know how to speak or write Italian. I need help desperately. Could you also include the exact address of where I have to send it and how much money I have to send with it? This is the first time I will be trying to obtain any type of records from Italy for my family. Thank you very, very much, Dianna (Bucheche@aol.com)
