Yup I know this is not from our area of research but I still need help with a surname. two different extractors interpreted the surname as Delfin and Delines but I don't see how they got either from the record. thanks for your help

This is the marriage record for Encarnacion Maldonado and Antonia Tafoya in El Paso del Norte. Encarnacion's parents are Sevastian Antonio Maldonado and Maria Ygnacia Del(abbreviation)(2nd abbreviation). Your comments on Maria Ygnacia's surname would be most appreciated.

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/landscape/MHCX-FHC shows Sevastian Maldonado and Ygnacia Delfin with various children one of them being Encarnacion. I just would like to see if those more knowledgeable can decipher Delfin out of the record.
Delfin Not Delfin ???
I agree with Manny. The long part of the "f" lost some ink in the middle, so it's hard to see it as one letter. Notice the "j" in the word "hijo" above has the same issue, but the line is a bit darker. The "difta" is a separate abbreviation.

Thanks Rosalinda
thanks for looking over the message and comments. joseph
Delfin Not Delfin ???
I see "Delfin," followed by “di.fta” - the abbreviation of “difunta” or “deceased.”
