Benaci - what it the correct name?

I have just located a relative's U.S. Naturalization record from 1919. The "last foreign residence" and town of birth are listed as Benaci, Italy. When I google Benaci - the closest name seems to be Torri del Benaco, Italy. Does that sound like a reasonable match? Or would you suggest a be...

Re: Marriage Record - Translation and Handwriting Help Neede

Thanks so much Livio! Very good family information for me in your translation and handwriting analysis. I am now posting the top of the record and asking for some help with the handwriting and translation for that section. Now that I know the groom's parents are dead, that must be why the spaces are...

Re: Advice on Request for Records - Supino (FR)

Hi,
Just letting you know that I got a very prompt reply from Supino, after only about 2 weeks.
I followed your advice and asked for one relative search. I forgot to include a SASE!
I sent the letter via airmail and they sent me a reply via email.
Thanks again.
