Hello, I came across the word coate after a birth name. I'm not
sure if it is part of the name or a description. It is shown as
"Antonio coate mulato". I cannot tell if it is capitalized or not. Has
anyone come across this word in your research? I thought is
might be coyote, but mulato is listed right after.

Look at the surrounding entries. See if there is another child with the same surname.

Could it be that Antonio is a cuate or mellizo (fraternal twin)?
If so, than a possible translation could be: "...Antonio, twin, mulatto..."
coate or cuate would be a twin.....
