If you ask a Familienschein through the Swiss Consulate or Embassy is much
more espensive. Because you do not only have to pay the fees of the
Zivilstandsamt of the commune or Town but also the one of the federal office
(Eidg. Zivilstandsamt) then all mail from the cantons and communes and
destinated to a Swiss representation abroad is sent through this office. And
eventually you have even to pay a fee to the Consulate or Embassy.
So it is allways better to ask the document directly from the commune
