Europe / Re: Switzerland - Familienschein - pdf or certified copy?
« on: Wednesday 01 February 17 16:01 GMT (UK) »
The answer is YES.
I added a line in #2

you should ask for uncertified copies = Bitte unbeglaubigte Kopien.
The same in Germany, - very often there might be written additional and important information on the boundary of the paper. (for example: a reference no. of the death on the birth certificate)
The Zivilstandsamt / Standesamt would send you certified copies, if they guess you need it for a lawyer or else ...
* Modification 15:55

Hi,
the Alsatian and German sign of a cooper: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wangen_rG%C3%A9n%C3%A9ralStrohl_78_(2).JPG
Cheers,

NB: My fathers name is Böttcher (the cooper in the middle of Germany - or Böttger the re-inventor of porcelain), up to now I have found coopers and three porcelain makers under the ancestors of my mother and none related to my father.
