US-Maine Nat Records-on entry 2 of image 2, the place of birth is listed as
Vezzolacca, Province of Piacenza In The Kingdom Of Italy. I'm thinking I should write that as
Vezzolacca, Piacenza, Italy based on General Indexing Guidelines. Or should I record it as it is written? or maybe Vezzolacca, Piacenza, The Kingdom of Italy? What do you think?
Also, could you check the spelling of the Given Name? Ginseffe?
Thanks,

I'd go with Italy and the GN is Giuseppe.

You are correct to index this as Vezzolacca, Piacenza, Italy on image 2.
On Image 1, Vezzo Korsca, Piacenza, Italy would be correct. (Korsca could be Cusio - we don't know)
Vezzo, Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Italy and Vezzolacca, Province of Piacenza, Italy are 2 1/2 hours and 200+km apart.
The field help says: You should expand abbreviations or correct misspellings when you can tell what the abbreviation stands for or what the correction should be to the spelling.
Type what you see (without the unneeded terms like province of and Kingdom of) and let the researcher decide whether the document is correct or not.
