Juan Jose LERENA y LERENA (of Navarrete, Logrono; Buenos Aires 1900)

One of two brothers granting a power of attorney at the SPANISH CONSULATE in Buenos Aires on 14 November 1900, to let their mother and married brother run the family property back in Navarrete. 'Mayor de edad, soltero, dependiente, natural de Navarrete, provincia de Logrono, vecino de esta Capital', inscribed at the consulate as number 951 of that year's roll. The birth year is inferred from 'mayor de edad' and from the candidacy below, not stated on the act. SEE 'Juan Jose LERENA' - a bachelor of this name, province and trade, born 1876, who CEMLA lands at Buenos Aires in 1920, 1928 and 1929. NOT MERGED. THIS HOUSEHOLD IS WHY THE ROW MATTERS MORE THAN ITS OWN PEOPLE DO. The brothers sign themselves LERENA y LERENA, so their father was a Lerena AND their mother was a Lerena - and Pablo Armando Lerena's 1908 enrolment card names JUAN CARLOS LERENA and MARIA LERENA. AND THEY ARE THE SIXTH SUCH COUPLE THIS ARCHIVE HAS MET, NOT THE FIRST - a correction to what was written here first. The two Trinidad couples of 1894 and 1913, the 1911 dispensation, Alejandro, and Eloy x Felisa Lerena at San Jose de Flores in 1912 all came before them. SO THE CARD'S DOUBLE SURNAME WAS NEVER IN REAL DOUBT, AND NAVARRETE DOES NOT RESCUE IT. What Navarrete adds is different and smaller: it is the FIRST SUCH HOUSEHOLD OUTSIDE SOUTH AMERICA, the FIRST WHERE THE CHILDREN CARRY IT DOUBLED AS A SURNAME OF RECORD - 'Lerena y Lerena', in their own signatures, not just a coincidence of two parents - and the FIRST TIME THE PRACTICE HAS A PLACE ON A MAP that can be searched. No link to Pablo Armando is claimed - see data/open-questions.tsv.
