En caso de que este dato sea de interes para alguien, queria mencionar que supe por un contacto en La Habana, que el parroco de la Catedral de Matanzas termino la transcripcion del libro que contiene records de alrededor de los años 1732, el cual por encontrarse en mal estado, no estaba disponible. Personas interesadas (como yo) en obtener documentos de ese tiempo, en esa ciudad, podrian ahora intentarlo. Yo creo que estan hacienda lo mismo en otras ciudades. Que yo sepa, la Parroquia de Jesus Maria tambien transcribio sus libros mas antiguos. Saludos para todos desde California, Nery A.

Before you go any further validate a couple of things that might help you in your search. Is the title "Dr." a MD or JD? I assume that if he was a Consul in Panama he is a JD. Santos is also a surname, so in your searches be sure to check the listings for Santos, he could be recorded under his middle name by mistake. His law or medical degree could be from the Univeristy of La Habana, search for someone that might have the class books "yearbooks" for the Univeristy circa 1895-1905. There are also yearbooks of Cuban lawyers and doctors around. These were the war years so I do not know how easy could it be. I have some reference books but I need to know his City of birth or residence in Cuba. Send an e-mail to the Panamanian Foreign Ministry and or the Cuban Embassy in Panama, doubt it if they would take time on a search like this, but who knows. Good Luck. Jorge

The word "Beneficiado" which I think is the corresponding word for the abreviation you found is a distinction treatment for priests in ancient years(Before 20th century). Ussually appears as Bdº, Bdo. Benefº Benef.do and in some other ways depending on the person who wrote the text. As an example: "Don Pedro Palacios, Cura Benefº (beneficiado) de la Santa Iglesia Catedral". I suppose in your case the word appeared in this way: " Fue su padrino el Benefº (Beneficiado) Juan Salazar. The exact meaning of the term "beneficiado" is to say: the rights that title gave to the owner would be a topic for another discussion, for we must go to a text dealing with ancient or Roman Canon Law. Please feel free contacting me trough my direct E-Mail adress for the case I can search for the meaning of this term Friendly Roberto Lenzano rlenzano@mediras.scu.sld.cu. Versión al Español: La palabra "beneficiado" que es la que yo creo se corresponde con la abreviatura que Ud. encontró, es un tratamiento de distinción entre los curas en épocas antiguas anteriores al siglo 20. Por lo general aparece como Bdº, Bdo, Benefº y de algunas otras formas, dependiendo del gusto del escribano. Aparece por regla general como: "Don Pedro Palacios, Cura Benefº (beneficiado) de la Santa Iglesia Catedral". Yo supongo que en su caso esta palabra apareció como: " Fue su padrino el Benefº (Beneficiado) Juan Salazar. El exacto significado del término "beneficiado" o sea: Los derechos que daba ese título a su poseedor, podría ser el tópico para otro debate, ya que tenemos que consultar algún texto que trate sobre Derecho Canónico Romano antiguo.
