Birth Certificate

Not too long ago a family friend obtained my grandmother's birth certificate for me from the civil registry in Spain. My abuela always celebrated on May 2nd, but this says she was born on the 17th of May. Close enough!

My grandmother named her Doraldina so she wouldn't 
have a nickname. I'm sure Dina saw the humor in that 
and in this newspaper getting her name wrong.
