Thank you for your replies. The dl was used in an old Spanish record from the early 1800's. The phrase "soldado dl Regimto." So I assume it meant soldier of the Regiment.

Overwhelmingly likely. It wouldn't be an acceptable abbreviation in modern Spanish but many things were abbreviated 2-3 centuries ago (especially since they were writing everything in "longhand") that are no longer standard.) Of course, it may also be a simple misprint for "del".

If you were to provide reasonable contextual information, there is a good chance that someone will help you with your real question. (Since you provided no context and phrased your question as one calling for a simple "yes/no" answer, you should not be too disappointed with the replies that you got.)
