Great! My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Ms Barroteran.
yup, I am Peruvian and although I have both my parents’ surname I am known by my name and paternal surname (which always goes first)Not sure if Mexico retains this custom, but Spanish naming customs include a paternal surname followed by a maternal surname.
If this is true in this example, her first and paternal surname would be Holguin followed by her mother's surname, Barroteran.
