cross over name on baptismal record


By RaquelRuiz - Posted on 18 March 2011

I located the image of the baptismal record for Leonor Torres Benavides, (8
Dec 1661, Nochistlan, image 210) and I see a cross over her name, and a few
others on the same page. I've not noticed this before. The arms of the
cross are the same length. Does this mean they died at birth?
