Hi Mary, Why do you order directly through the archives rather than the LDS? You get the same certificate from either. Bobbi ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary D.

Bobbi, Very simple; it's expedient -- only info I need is name, certificate number, borough and year, which the italiangen site provides directly. I don't have time to waste as I usually work full-time (though am currently on furlough). In other words, I don't have time to try and figure out what film number, etc. I like simple, quick and painless, and that's exactly what I get ordering directly from the archives. I realize that some people may not understand this motivation, but that's the way I work. If the italiangen site also provided the film number and a direct link to order online through the LDS (i.e. something that doesn't require mailing them a self-addressed, stamped envelope), then I might reconsider. -- Mary On 8/30/2011 10:40 AM, Bobbi wrote: > Hi Mary, > > Why do you order directly through the archives rather than the LDS? > You get the same certificate from either. > > Bobbi > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mary D.
