Spanish term

la partida del fondo

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) birth certificate
Guatemala: simple birth certificate: top half, basic facts... bottom half, "I issue and sign this Cert in the city of.... copied and compared by ________" etc. But in between, after the basic facts, there is Anotaciones:

Razón: La partida del fondo se asentó acorde al Arto. 386 y 392 del C.C. ****

I don't know what "partida del fondo" refers to... the clerk's entry (date certificate issued, etc) at the bottom of the page??

Maybe the asterisks are a clue... the only other asterisks in the document are with the child's name entry, así: ***Andony ______ de _______*** I tried looking up the C.C. but the Articles referenced seem to be in the penal code (!) And this Cert is from 20 years ago.

There's another KudoZ for this phrase... but, in that case, it seems clear what "partida del fondo" refers to.

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Many times they just use asterisks to complete the line (so that nothing can be added there). Other times, they place the asterisks to emphasize important information - in this case the child's name.
Catherine Harrison Feb 26, 2013:
Again, knowing nothing about it, it is possible that the article refers to names of illegitimate children (I know, I'm taking a leap here). In any case I think the original entry, or original document would be the first birth certificate recorded, and the margin note refers to a change that was later made to the original certificate.
Lesley Jackson (X) (asker) Feb 26, 2013:
@Catherine When you say "original entry" do you mean the entry in the registry book which was copied for the certificate? That would make sense, yes.

And it makes me think that perhaps what was specified in the C.C. Article referenced is the format of the name?? Maybe that's the asterisks connection?

The original entry

It sound like this is a margin note. I would think it refers ro "the original entry" or "the base entry". Does that make sense?
