Help with with a word? Were marriage "testigos" always male?
Hi, to everyone. Just a small question about a name. If someone can look at this marriage document: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18696-19142-66?cc=1874591&wc…

I think it says Antonia. A few pages ahead you can see the marriage of Antonia Apodaca, daughter of Antonio Apodaca:

Thanks for the reply. I had already seen the marriage record you mention. I'm still doubtful that Antonia was the witness because she was 16 at that time. I have never seen a witness that young on any record, or female for that matter. Also, the letter at the end of "Antonio/a" is written differently than the other a's in the document.

usually testigos were male, but I do remember coming accross a marriage document with a female testigo named maria josefa(I don't remember her last name though)
