Definately curls but I'm not sure they are from a Minnie.

I don't suppose it could be a Julie?

I wonder if it might be June's curls - there are lots of dots that could be random blemishes rather than dots on 'i's.  Do you have any idea of the possible names it might be in your family?  Not something that anyone other than a mother would keep I'd say.

p.s. depending on the length of the curls you might be able to work out a rough date of birth for the girl in question.  Is it very fine baby hair or more mature, strong and thick?
