OMG that was probably the problem. Thank you so much. I didn't realize I did that.

I did try sending emails to 5 or 6 different addresses one of which was anagrafe@commune.pietradefusi.av.it and they were all returned "undeliverable" all with the same message as above.

Hi Marty,

Hi Marty,

Thank you for reply and your willingness to try and help. I have many names I am researching which I found on certificates sent to me quite a few years ago. I would have to make a list to get some dates (which would most likely be the mid 1800's). I will get that together and if you have ...

Hi Erudita,

Thank you for your response. The only photo ID I have is my driver's license. I should send a copy of that?
Also, I have exhausted the LDS site and now have hit brick walls. The antenati.san.beniculturali.it/ site has given me nothing. I have put in every name I have and it always comes ...
