Gilberto LERENA (b.1879, arr. 1928)

An ARGENTINE-national Lerena born within three years of Pablo Armando, carrying the Gilberto name of the Stud Book family. Travelling with a son of the same name. CORRECTED 20 September 2026. This row used to end "Not in the 1895 census household of Gilberto (1854)", and that was the only thing holding it apart from another row in this register. It is wrong. Line 6 of that schedule reads Salvanach Lerena, GILBERTO, varon, 17, soltero, R. Oriental - Gilberto's eldest son, seventeen in 1895, so born 1877 or 1878, who is already here as Gilberto LERENA Salvanach (the younger, b.1878). WHAT FITS, NOW THAT THE OBJECTION IS GONE: a birth year one out; Argentine nationality, which the Salvanach son demonstrably holds (Montevideo-born, yet in Argentine military records 1911-1936); Buenos Aires; and a marriage of 19 May 1906, against which a son born 1916 sits naturally - and that son is the estudiante of twelve travelling beside him, whom this row had noted as a curiosity without explaining. DELIBERATELY NOT MERGED. Both rows are index-level, and this archive once conflated two Arturo Lerenas on a forename and an age and retracted the branch within the hour. THE TEST, AND IT IS CHEAP: the Argentine military record carries a date of birth and the CEMLA entry carries marital status. Either one settles it. AND THE SON IS NO LONGER A CURIOSITY, 20 September 2026. Gilberto Lerena Salvanach married CIPRIANA SAENZ PENA on 19 May 1906 and a Capital Federal index names their child "Gilberto de Jesus del Corazon". The son this row noted without explaining is a son that man demonstrably had. IT STILL DOES NOT CLOSE. That child carries no indexed birth year - a search of Argentine Lerena births 1910-1920 returns ten records and none is he - so the twelve-year-old of 1928 remains unmatched by a document.
