Benfenatti

[margaridaalves]

I'm looking for information about my mother's family. They came from Italy to Brazil around 1900. The surname is Benfenatti. I believe that this spelling was modified because I can not find any ocurrence (just my family in a small city in Brazil) when I search on the web.

I konw that his name was Henrique in Portuguese, probably Enrico in Italian. He came with his wife, Marcella and a daugther, Anita. So, unfortunatelly, this register is someone else. Thanks anyway!! Interesting the site you metioned. I didn't know it.
