Assistance with Last name

Post by marzolinoam »

A few of us who have Michele Di Guida in our family trees are at a standstill in trying to read the name of his mother. We have been given several theories. I was wondering if someone would look at it and see if they can read it.

Here is a link to the Italian Handwriting Script for the capitalized "R" - you can see here why it is often mistaken for a "V" :-)
