Well the name is Consetta...
Still looking at the rest. I think its 222 'a name I can't read at the moment' Boulevard (Blvd) The first address is the same and its not Brooklyn its Kings NY as in the state not the City I think. Last edited by maggie_4_7; 11-11-09 at 19:03. |

Thanks for looking Maggie.
I thought that Consetta letter had a loop under it but it may belong to the address in the line below. |

Could it be Conzetta with a loopy lower case Z?

Looks like 222 Spencer B'klyn Kings NY to me.
Occupation - I keep thinking it says Colorizer, but there are too many letters for that. Relative's name might be Conzetta, if that's a name? |

Thanks Georgette and Kite. I think you've got it with Conzetta and Spencer seems a likely interpretation for the address.
I'm not sure the first letter of the occupation is a C - looking at the other capital Cs. I thought perhaps a G? |

If you Google for "222 Spencer" NY, it comes up with a Spencer Street in Brooklyn. And Googling for Conzetta, it does seem to be a name.
Not figured out that occupation yet... |

Thanks Georgette. I think that confirms them both.
I'm not too sure if this is one of "my" Salmonis or not as Conzetta's surname looks more like Salomoni to me. If it is linked to my lot, they were in barometer, telescope and mirror making/dealing - in case that helps with an occupation. |
