Manuel María Patín

Maternal great-grandfather of Miguel (gen-3) via the Patín–Botello line. Born San Pedro de Macorís 1902, died Santo Domingo 1981.

Parentage (per S-004 GEDCOM, unverified)

• Father: Ricardo Martínez
• Mother: María Enriqueta Patín

The fact that the child carries the maternal apellido as primary (Patín, not Martínez) is unusual under standard Hispanic convention. Three possible readings:

1. Hijo natural / illegitimacy — the father was not present at the acta inscription, so the mother's apellidos were used.
2. Adoptive or legal-recognition pattern that elevated the mother's name.
3. GEDCOM data error. Worth investigating via the San Pedro de Macorís acta de nacimiento 1902.
