Arturo,
It has been my experience in my own
research that in a Mexican record, anything in parenthesis
means the information (within the parenthesis) is wrong. Apparently
parenthesis is used to denote that a mistake was made when entering
the informaion.
I would bet that Miramontes was someone from
the area but not necessarily a relative. As for the other names, I would
advise you to look for other actas for the same family to be sure that the names
entered are the grandparents. I have seen plenty of records more or less
sounding like yours and the sacristan had ususlly made a mistake entering the
grand parents. Then again, it could be that the names were as entered and
the family used different last names as was the custom at times.
Since you did not include the entire text I can't say any more than that
regarding the grandparents.
Elvira

Has anyone run across this or have an inkling of what it

Who is
