I will try to make a long story short, but will not leave out any relevent information.

I am trying to obtain copies of both my grandparents birth certificates. They were born in different towns, but I have the location and the exact dates of birth for each. I have written each comune twice (in English) asking for copies. I have not heard back. I have found a request form online (in Italian) which I am now tempted to send. Is there anything else I should know or should be doing? I have not sent a fee, but I have read any fee involved is usually waived for this type request. If I still do not hear back, I am tempted to travel to Italy and go to the comune in person.

Any suggestions??

Thanks
