To identify some peculiarities about this type of names, the data of 5,287 people collected in an official military document of the time was studied. The work with this corpus showed the need to carry out a normalization process through which the variant with the highest frequency of appearance was used to represent the name and in special cases the one that best adjusted to the spelling standards in force today.
