Hi Everyone
Quick question:
Does the letter "C." in front of a man's name mean Capitan?
This is a link to the document, marriage of Juan Salas and Sabina Gonzalez in Cienega de Mata in 1900:

There is a "C." in front of Juan's name.

In my experience, the ¨C¨ means ¨Ciudadano¨. You can see it on this page of marriage records from Ojuelos where most records say Ciudadano for each groom while the writer of the last record on the page chose to abbreviate the word to just the letter C.
