I used Comune in the name block and Laterina in the town block. I got 5 responses. Would this be the correct one? COMUNE DI LATERINA V. TRENTO 19 52020 LATERINA Phone 0575 88011 Description - 013116 - REGIONAL, DEPARTMENTAL AND LOCAL ADMINISTRATIONS For Laura: A sample letter requesting this in Italian is available at this site: http://italiangenealogy.atspace.com/Davids_form_letters.html Joe in Texas

Thank you everyone for your input. You have given me a direction to go into. I understand that everything is slow in Italy. As our tour guide said, piano, piano.. thanks again.
