Hi,
I'm trying to work out the maiden surname of my 4x-great-grandmother. Her first name was Marianna. I have attached two records below, and highlighted the lines where the name appears. The surname does not seem to be Italian. Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Michael

Good catch Pippo!

That is brilliant!
Thank you very much.

Am I right in thinking that Marianna's parents are shown as Martino and Margherita on that document? But her mother's maiden name is not shown?

Thanks,
Michael

Great job, Pippo!

There is a two letter name after Margherita on the document, which should the maiden name. The second letter looks like an E to me, but I can't decipher the first letter.
