They have decided to do three different blank experience tables: United States, Canada, and International. That way you all do not need to wait for a table to be ready for your specific country. Paula, you should use the International table for your Italian research. The tables can be downloaded from the ICAPGen website here:

http://www.icapgen.org/icapgen/applicationforms

Also, there are some sample tables online for many different countries that you can look at. There is not an Italian sample table yet, but you will get the idea as you look at some of the other ones.

Thank you!

This hacking into other's email is happening often. My sister in law in Highland, Utah just got her email hacked a couple of days ago. The hackers put a new password on your email and send those "help me" letters to all of your contacts. And there is no way you can get into your own email account. So all of us on her email list who received that she needed help are changing our passwords for our email addresses. I have heard that the hackers are looking for social security numbers, user names, and passwords in people's emails. So it may be best to do a search option on your emails for words " user names", "password", and "social security" on it. I did not think I had anything to worry about it until I did that. For people who have gmail addresses, you need to launch your full email like you would if you are sending an attachment. Then above the blue bar where the big word "GMAIL" is, to the right of it is the blank bar where you type in your search word, next to the right of it are the gray buttons 'Search Mail" and "Search the Web", then next to them on the right is the blue words "show search options". You click on that button and that will put you in the different search fields. I go to the field that basically says look for these words, that is were you can put the words "password", "user name", and "social security number". I put each word in by itself. Then run it through. It will bring up your emails that have those words in them. You may want to run the search through a few times after you delete the emails just to make sure you got them all. Remember those times when you don't remember your password or user name and request it from some company. Then the company sends you your password. Those are the kind especially to erase. Be sure to clean out your trash to permanently erase the emails. Don't think "it won't happen to me." My daughter-in-law mentioned a couple of weeks ago her grandmother in Salt Lake City got her email address hijacked. They traced to hijackers to India and New York. They were collaborating with each other. To protect yourself, use a special password only for your email address that you don't use anywhere else. For a backup of your contacts, make an excel spreadsheet with your contacts on it and password protect it. The hijackers figure most of us use one or two passwords for everything. So they think once they figure it out, they can get into all of our personal stuff, bank accounts, what ever... Good luck!

Thanks for the update. I was skeptical when I saw the email without proper capitalization and punctuation. Even under stress I think someone as together as Kelly wouldn't be so sloppy! Also, mugger's in England are very unlikely to be carrying guns! I am very happy all is well. I grew up in England, have been back dozens of times since moving here in 1970 and have yet to be mugged, however I have been the victim of attempted white collar crime many times here - maybe we should all move to England!!!
