Are you looking for an Italian surname? Do you need more information about your family heritage?
This is the right place to start your genealogy search.
I am going to try and attach an image of the name. The lady's first name is Maggiorina. The handwriting is not generally bad at all I think, but I cannot find any variation of the spelling as an Italian name. I compared the spelling to the overall handwriting of the document but all I get are fantasy names.
The family came from Liguria.
any help I can get is much appreciated!

The mother's first name looks like "Gelilita," which is obviously wrong. Surname looks like Maggiorina. The first name that comes to my mind is Gelsomina. Where is this record from? It's clearly a birth record.
Thanks for your replies.
Maggiorina is the First Name, the indecipherable one starting with G. is the Last Name/Surname.
It is an excerpt of a marriage certificate of the son of the lady in question.
The family of the father comes from Rapallo, Genoa. We don't know if the family of the mother (Maggiorina's family) comes from there, too, but they are all Northern Italians, and as far as we know all Ligurians.
Thanks!

Hope this is enough. The best I could do was compare the lower case v of the wrongly spelled street name Roosvelth Str. with the middle part of the surname (G...).
That makes it in my mind something like Gelvito/Gelvita. But I couldn't find that anywhere...
One thing I found just last night is, if the v was misheard, and it should be a b, that would make the name Gelbito, and that I found mentioned on a website of heraldry of Rome. But I don't know if that is a stretch or in any way trustworthy information.
Thanks so much for looking into it!

I still have trouble finding the name in Italy, it must be somewhat rare, but the spelling in the record is unmistakable!
