The story

  1. Where they came from

    No parent is named for this person in this archive yet.

  2. Life

    THE MOTHER OF THE INFANT LUCAS, NAMED ONLY IN HIS ENTRY - FOUND 15 November 2026. 'Rosa Lerena, morena oriental': 'morena' is the book's word for a woman of African descent, 'oriental' means born in Uruguay. The entry names no husband and calls the boy her natural son. NOT EQUATED WITH THE ROSA LERENA OF CASA 229, CALLE SARANDI (the padron of 1850; see the row 'Rosa LERENA (Sarandi 229, 1850)'): that Rosa is entered at forty-six and CASADA, which would make the mother of a two-month-old in January 1855 a woman of about fifty - unlikely, not impossible - and nothing in either record says the other is morena.
