Martin-41372 and Martín Serrano-100 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicates

Also, women in colonial New Mexico did not always use the naming tradition of "father's last name mother's last name." Sometimes they used one or both of the father's surname, sometimes one or both of the mother's surname, and sometimes even their maternal grandmother's surname. What matters is what did she use herself for her formal name? In this case, since it was such a powerful family, she probably would have used Martín Serrano. This needs to be researched so that this profile can be merged with Martín Serrano-100.

Just a reminder that women in colonial New Spain did not take their husband's name when they married, they kept their maiden name for life. Also, they did not have middle names. If they had two or more given names, they were combined into one compound first name. Surnames were treated the same.

Martin-41372 and Martín Serrano-100 are not ready to be merged because: Her name should NOT be Martin Serrano, it should be Martin Vargas or Martin de Vargas, as per naming tradition.

Martin-6453 and Martin Serrano-36 appear to represent the same person because: same parents and death. The birth in 1740 seems to be incorrect, as the mother and father would have been past child bearing age. Neither birth year is supported by primary sources.
