Hi List, I know that someone out there will be able to help me with this. I received a family certificate (Familienschein) for my ancestor from the Zivilstandsamt in Beringen, Schaffhausen, Switzerland. They tell me "you can borrow all the information you asked for ( as far as they are registered in our records)." They then go on to say that the charge for this family certificate amount to CHF 110.-- Please send a check to Zivilstandsamt etc. etc. etc. Would someone please explain all of this to me. Thanking You in advance, David __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
