"hija natural" vs added name of man-general question


 
 
Fellow searchers;
  I have encountered some thing strange in my extraction film. I know that "hija natural" means that the child has no father. But at times there is an man's name written in below the child's name in the bapised child list, but not in body of the narrative where the names of the parents is listed. In your experience, does this mean that the father was named , but does not acknowledge that child ? Additionally, I sometimes find names for the father listed as "Dolores" or "Maria Isvaldo" or "Yldlesterialde Isabel". Is that a name for a man ? I have never met a man named Dolores but at times a woman is named Juan Jesus. Is there a better formula than if the name ends in "o"= boy or "a"=girl ? The child is either "Hija" or Hijo". the times that I have trouble is when the name is not clear and the parish father puts "hn" or "hl", in those cases I can't tell the gender.  
Also, at times the parent is listed as "Jesus Montenegro or Juan Eliso Montenegro". Do you know if that may be the name of a father who took the baby to be baptised and didn't name the mother ?  
 Also, Some fathers write Ysabel and Ysidro . I wonder if a Capital "I" was written to look like  a "Y" when is  a capital in script/caligraphy or if it spelled that way in Gualtamala.  Just asking my friends here in the site.

Thank you,

Jose Luis macias

Hello John,

Try the following instructions: 

"Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Regional and
Language Options. Click the Language(s) tab. In Win
XP, click Details, then Add. Choose an Input language
(English United States) and a Keyboard Layout
(International English). Use Apply to finish the
process; the Windows installation CD may be needed."

Read the instructions on how to switch or select keyboard layouts.  
You can select also which one you prefer as the default layout.

Let us know if you need any other help!

Victor

Shift +1.
