I've received several requests for the address and info so I'm posting it for everyone to see. The address of the archives where I have had wonderful luck is at the end of the note. I send my requests in English and have never had a problem with a response. I acknowledge that the fee is $10 U.S. funds per certificate. I also usually enclose two mail coupons. At this moment I can't remember what they are called but it's some kind of international coupon for postage. I'm sure if you go to your post office and ask they can tell you. It's just a little slip of paper that I put in the letter and they can use it for postage. I think they are around $1 each. I just do that for courtesy and they always acknowledge it and are very appreciative. Be sure to include as much information as you have. I started out just requesting a marriage and birth or baptism certificate. I now have built a large family grouping and have asked for children's records. As I said I was amazed yesterday to receive 20 certificates. Of course that costs me $200.00 but I can't imagine hiring a researcher or going there myself for that amount of money. In my letter I have always limited my requests to 20 certificates so I wouldn't end up with 50 or more and have a huge bill at one time. In my letter I usually put something like "I acknowledge the fee is $10 per certificate but please limit your research to a maximum of 20 certificates". We were at a dead end on our family research and it has just been pouring in from Ljubljana. The records we have found over there have been actually very informative and really simpler to obtain than here in this country in some instances. The information that comes back is a notarized sheet and they basically are all the same "Marriage, death, baptism". Once you decipher what each line is requesting it's pretty easy to gather the information. I have a small Slovenian dictionary that was helpful as well as using Inter-Tram on the internet. Then for those few words you can't figure out this is a great place to come and ask for help. I've never sent money up front but am always quick to send payment when I receive information. I have gotten stacks of papers 6-8 times. If they don't have the records they usually are very good about sending an address where you can write to find them. Good luck to everyone in their research!! Phyllis Here's the address: Nadskofijski Arhib Ljubljana SLO-1000 Ljubljana, Krekov trg 1 Slovenia
