That's some pretty handwritting but difficult to read. It looks like Merope to me but I've never heard of that name. She was born Feb. 1,1866. The daughter of Pasquale Mosca & Emere?ziana Genova, dgt. of Francesco.

WoW!!!! thanks for the information, thank you both for the information. Other then the difficulty of sometimes not being able to read I do agree how beautiful the handwriting is. I wish I could write like that.

We will have to agree then on the name Merope Mosca.
thanks again.
