Hi, This is a pretty specialized request but I would appreciate any input. I was hoping some one could assist me with the correct format to cite an Italian civil birth record. I found it for one of my ancestors on microfilm from the FHL library. I also have a photo and digital copy. BTW - I don’t ...

I’m embarrassed to say…2 years. I think I gave up. :oops: Maybe I'm using the wrong template for the message? Can you recommend a proven template? I have some friends that speak fluent Italian, do think I could call and request the info? Last, how about a professional, can you recommend someone?...
