Prudencio Benito LERENA y LERENA (of Navarrete, Logrono; Buenos Aires 1900)

The elder-named of the two brothers in the consular power of attorney of 14 November 1900 - 'mayor de edad, soltero, dependiente', consular registration number 950. PRUDENCIO BENITO IS A RARE FORENAME PAIR AND A GOOD ONE TO SEARCH: anything of it in the Buenos Aires registers after 1900 is this man and almost nobody else. 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.
