well I don't have any understanding of this subject like I'd like to
but here is a book that might have something to say about it. You might
want to do a WorldCat Search of it and do an ILL:

Joseph,

    Thank you for the kind words
about the work I do on extraction. Joseph, I have a problem that I hope
that you could  help   with. When I am doing the names on the records I
often find strange names and spellings. I had a baby name book for
naming kids and I wonder if there exists such a book for Latino kids. I
thought that a phone book would help so I got one for a local city that
has a lot of Hispanic families. There seems to be a limited number of
first names and surnames. I need a better source. For example, I found
a name that looked like "Eulalio Chuc" . I have never seen the surname
"Chuc" or "Toco" or "Andurate" Moratalla. I am doing a church in
Argentina and I guess the names are different or I am not that familiar
with "Oligalla Zulipata". See, I am not sure if such names exist or if
I am not reading them right. If I knew or had seen names like that,
then I would recognize them like " Jose", "Juan" or "Julio".       You
are a helpful person and if you can't think of a source for me on this,
that is Ok because I am no worse off than before.

 

Your friend in Family Search,

On another note: My Netscape has Crashed and I don't know if its burned
or is recoverable. Many many of my folders with Ranchos emails and
correspondence have disappeared. Thankfully the group has all the
archives but a lot of my stuff is unavailable and I won't be able to
function right without some of these materials. woe is me woe is me. .
.hopefully you all won't notice anything but if you do thats whats
going on with me. I'm trying to remedy the situation now, but it might
take some time and much higher learning that I possess.
