Hi Vicki, regarding the change:

"15:53: Greg Clarke edited the Prefix for Juan de Oñate y Salazar (abt.1550-abt.1626). (Vicki said that Don is not a prefix or a title, it's like Mr. ) [Thank Greg for this]"

I may be influenced by Portuguese genealogy, but I think the use of "Don" has genealogical significance. The meaning depends where and when it is used.

Juan Oñate lived in XVI-XVII century and use "Don" in his signature (https://www.wikitree.com/photo/gif/De_Onate_y_Salazar-2), so maybe the Don should be put in the prefix or/and in his biography.

Sources:

• The article https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_(tratamiento) states:

"Historia ... Con posterioridad, en épocas variables en los diversos reinos, se generalizó el tratamiento a algunos hidalgos y sus descendientes, pero nunca a los plebeyos. Esto requería la figuración en el padrón de hidalgos que usualmente se guardaba en los cabildos, incorporación para la que normalmente había que efectuar probanza de nobleza.

Su uso en España parece haber sido rigurosamente acotado hasta bien pasada la Edad Media, probablemente hasta fines del siglo XVIII o comienzos del XIX. Cuando el hidalgo Alonso Quijano adopta el nombre de don Quijote de la Mancha, Sancho reflexiona sobre ese don, que no tenía derecho a usar quien hasta ayer era solamente merced."

Resumen: La movilidad social en la Hispanoamérica del Antiguo Régimen estuvo matizada por la rigidez propia del sistema estamental. Al considerar el lenguaje como un aspecto sustan- cial dentro de la dinámica social, el presente artículo aborda las características de la fórmula prenominal don/doña, analizando específicamente los aspectos relativos a su origen, evolución y usos. En términos metodológicos, el estudio se ha servido de diversos instrumentos bibliográficos y documentales, mismos que han permitido ilustrar de una manera mucho mas didáctica, la progresión del vocablo y su incidencia en el campo de lo sociológico y lo antropológico.

Abstract: Social mobility in the Spanish America of the Ancient Regime was tempered by the rigidity of the stratified system. Upon considering language as a substantial aspect within the social dynamics, this article covers the characteristics of the prenominal formula don/doña, by specifically analyzing all aspects related to its origin, evolution and usage. In methodological terms, the study has relied on a series of bibliographical as well as documentary references, both tools that have made it possible to illustrate in a more didactical manner, the advancement of the word and its incidence within the fields of the sociological and anthropological.

Hi, Vicki

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
