that's what i had suspected i'd seen documents online from that time period referencing a jose monserrate marxuach but none referencing a jose maria it could be that some archivist or government historian saw jose m marxuach on some official document and simply assumed the m stood for maria jose maria being a common enough name combination a photo if any exists in the possession of the family could be compared with the official mayoral portrait for i d purposes then again brothers tend to look alike this might be difficult to sort out in any case thanks again for checking p s if this gets solved you might want to contact someone in an official capacity to let them know of the mistake assuming there is a mistake in which case you would be getting due credit for your thorough investigative work just a thought
