Spelling of a Surname

Post by demari18 »

With the wonderful help of members of this site I now have the passenger list for Attilio Falco. In that list there is reference to a relative left in Italy. I can read the first name Teresa but the surname is difficult and it says she was his wife. There is reference in the records for Jelsi that Attilio Falco had a child with a Teresa Matteo. I can see Matteo in the word but there are letters at the end of the word that I'm hoping someone can help me with. Thank you so very much, DeMari

It looks like the last three letters are "ede"? Maybe an abbreviation? Best supply an image to the full record if you are able to.
