Padrinos?


 

I know that in most cases the padrinos were members of the family. But other than showing this is via examination of the records how do we know? Were there many examples of non blood relatives being the Padrinos? I guess I'm more interested in if  anyone has ever witnessed a padrino with the same surname of one of the parents actually being a non blood relative. Has anyone ever seen this?

Where can I go to read more information on how our relatives picked Padrinos and the likely hood that they were blood relatives of some degree?

thanks again you guys are great,

joseph
