Thread: Acta de nacimiento

Does anyone know the meanings of the abbreviations below? They are on my Grandfather's Mexican birth certificate. He was born in 1885.

A.P.: and A.M.: and CC.

The above abbreviations are in the following context:

...Nació el día cinco del actual a las cinco de la tarde y son sus padres el comparente y Marciala Esparza de diecinueve años de edad. A.P.: Domingo y Eduwiges Esparza. A.M.: Gerardo y Victoriana Moreno. Testigos: CC. Cirilo Torres y Desiderio Moreno casados, mayores de edad, jornaleros y vecinos del mismo Rancho, a quienes les-consta dicho nacimiento...

Thank you!

I'm not entirely sure but from what I can understand, "AP" stands for "Abuelos Paternos" and "AM" for "Abuelos Maternos"...
I can't help you with CC though, I have no idea what that is! :S

Hope it helps!

Since it is cc. it probably means a plural word such as 'compadres'.

In my experience translating many 100s of Mexican birth certificates, CC stands for citizens (and is commonly used). Never translated such an old birth cert though--only translated post-Mexican Revolution, but think that's the meaning of CC on yours as well.

No tengo idea a que se refieran con A.P. y bien podria ser como alguien menciono Abuelos Paternos y "A.M." Abuelos Maternos. Sin embargo normalmente en espanol A.M . siempre significa "Antes Meridiano" (como P.M. significaria Pasado Meridiano. Por ultimo y sin lugar a dudas "C.C." siempre significa Con Copia Para.

quijote,
by finding out who those people, whose names follow the abbreviation. Are, you might come to a conclusion.
