If you do the sizing first then you may not need to do as much dragging.
Carefully selecting where you drag can avoid the "weird" connecting lines.

If she was adopted as a young child or infant, she may have been living with a

Do all of the Sconza Testa's appear in the index as Sconza Testa for a

Is Rosaria's birth surname Testini and her birth father's surname Testa?
Does this have something to do with female/male pronunciation of the surname

why would Rosaria's birth surname be different than her father's
