The "o" at the end of a given name generally denotes male. "a" would denote female. So, Gregorio is a male, Gregoria is a female. Apellidos or family surnames may end any way, and "o"s or "a"s are just part of the name, with no gender reference. -----Original Message----- From: nychenan-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nychenan-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Vincent E.

I did notice on the census the date of emigration to the US as 1904. Does the O at the end of a Mexican name denote female? That might help seal it.
