Unos de los obstáculos en traducir documentos antigüos como los del Archivo
Militar de Segovia son las abreviaturas. Para alludarme en eso he estado
coleccionando listas de abreviaturas y también he hecho una lista de
abreviaturas de los documentos que he traducido. Por si acaso puede ser de
ayuda a otros, la he puesto en
http://www.dropby.com/Genealogia/abreviaturas.html.

Si otras personas saben de otras listas o de más abreviaturas en use en este
tipo de documento, por favor de dejarme saber para añadirlas a esta.

One of the many obstacles in translating old documents like those from the
Military Archive of Segovia is the generous and varied use of abreviations. For
my own use in translating that type of document I've been gathering lists of
spanish abreviations from various sources and I've put together a list of
abreviations I've found in those documents. For what it's worth and because it
might be of help to others I've put it at
http://www.dropby.com/Genealogia/abreviaturas.html.

I would also like help in finding other lists of abreviations and in
collaborating with other people who may have generated their own lists.

Cheers -- Matt

PS/ To comment on an earlier discussion about people being named after saints,
etc., as I was born on Nov 18, my middle name is Máximo (ugh), after St.
Maximus, a german saint. When I asked/complained about as a little kid, my
father told me to think of it as being named after Máximo Gómez (yeah, right :-)
