I finally gave up sending by email, it kept being returned, so I finally snail mailed it. Now we'll see how long this takes.

Thanks to everyone that has responded to my quest. I have received a lot of information that I did not know. I am still waiting to hear back from an archivist in Italy. How long can this take?
