Spanish term or phrase: (f)
I'm translatin Mexican civil registry documents and I've seen (F) after some names. I think that f stands for fallecido, but I'd like a confirmation. Also I've seen (MAR) but I really have no idea what that means

(f) (finado)
deceased


Explanation:
Yes, it does mean "deceased," although having translated probably hundreds of Mexican documents of this kind (birth/death/marriage certificates), as well as notarial instruments where it's usually not abbreviated, I can say with confidence that the (f) generally stands for "finado/a" rather than "fallecido/a".

No idea what (MAR) means though, I don't recognize that at all.
