  3. About this record

    A SON OF GIL LERENA AND ANASTASIA SANTA CRUZ WHO DID NOT LIVE. The entry: 'El veinte y tres de dicho mes di sepultura al cadaver de Juan que murio de dos anos de edad, hijo legitimo de Gil Lerena y Anastasia Santa Cruz: lo que por verdad firmo' - signed Juan Martin. The margin names him 'Juan Lerena', which is this archive's own reading of the hand at full magnification; a machine transcript had rendered the father 'Gil Serena', a form the Record Atlas catalogue holds for this family.

    THE DAY IS READ, THE MONTH IS NOT. The page says only 'dicho mes' and the heading is on an earlier leaf; the images on either side are of July and August 1850, so the burial is of the 23rd of a month that is probably July 1850 - inferred, not read, and the year is not written on his row as a fact. Two years old at burial puts his birth about 1848, between his sister Maria Salome (October 1847) and the family's move to the interior; no baptism of his has been found. He is entered unplaced, as his brothers and sisters are.
