Grandmother:
Maria Mortellaro married Benaim, housewife, daughter of the deceased Rosario and the deceased Rosa Larata, born in Tunisi [Tunisia, North Africa] on June 16, 1903, domiciled in Bivona [Sicily, province of Agrigento] and resident in Casablanca, Morocco.

Her mother
Rosa La Ranta, born May 5, 1867, died May 23, 1933

Note: the passport definitely says Larata instead of La Ranta
