Alejandro LERENA (m. Elisa VILLARDEMOROS)

A SECOND LERENA MARRIED A SECOND VILLADEMOROS, and the two marriages are probably one alliance. He and ELISA VILLARDEMOROS had a son christened at the Cordon on 29 May 1873. In the same decade AVELINO EDUARDO LERENA - documented as a son of Avelino Lerena and Ambrosia Traibel - married CELEDONIA VILLADEMOROS. THREE THINGS TIE THE TWO BAPTISMS TOGETHER: the surname on both mothers; a JOAQUIN standing godfather at each, indexed "Joaquin Requena" on one and "Joaquin Regusa y Garcia" on the other, which is one name and one machine mangling it; and the godmother here is ANGELICA VILLADEMOROS, while Celedonia's mother is ANGELICA MENDEZ - a daughter named for her. THE INFERENCE: two Lerena brothers married two Villademoros sisters, which is the same shape as the two Lerena siblings who married two Cardozo siblings and produced the 1911 dispensation. WHAT IS NOT DOCUMENTED: this act does NOT name his own parents, so he is NOT joined to Alejandro Lerena Traibel here, though the age fits - that man was born 1843 or 1845 and would be twenty-seven or twenty-nine. THE TEST: the two marriage acts, or any record naming this Alejandro's father. AND THE TEST NAMED ABOVE WAS RUN THE SAME EVENING AND CAME BACK EMPTY. LERENA with spouse surname VILLADEMOROS, Uruguay: 6,352 records, and not one of them is a marriage act. Every hit is a parent entry on somebody else's baptism or civil registration. The control is the one that worked two hours earlier: the same query shape on LERENA with spouse JUANICO puts the marriage act of 19 December 1864 at RANK ONE. So the shape finds a marriage when there is one to find. NEITHER VILLADEMOROS MARRIAGE IS IN THE INDEXED RECORD, and the brothers-and-sisters reading stays an inference. It would be settled by the parish marriage books of the Cordon and Union, which have not been walked. THE NULL PUBLISHED AGAINST THIS ROW RESTS ON A CONTROL THAT DID NOT CONTROL FOR THE RIGHT RISK - noted 21 September 2026, and the null is NOT withdrawn. The finding was that LERENA with spouse surname VILLADEMOROS returns 6,352 records and not one marriage act, controlled by LERENA with spouse JUANICO, which put the 1864 marriage at rank one. JUANICO HAS ONE SPELLING AND VILLADEMOROS HAS AT LEAST THREE. This register already holds VILLADEMOROS, VILLARDEMOROS and, from a death registration read today, VILLADEMORO. And on the same day a parent-pair query on this surname returned a ZERO that a single deleted parameter turned into SEVEN. So the control proved the query SHAPE works; it did not prove that this SURNAME is reachable through it. The two marriage acts may be absent from the index, or they may be present under a spelling nobody asked for. Until the Cordon and Union marriage books are walked, the difference is not known - and that is a weaker claim than the one this archive published. READ OFF THE PLATE 27 September 2026, and it settles his birthplace and not his parents. The Cordon act of 29 May 1873 reads 'hijo legitimo de D. ALEJANDRO LERENA [y Da. Elisa Villademoros], ORIENTALES. Padrinos D. JOAQUIN REGUSA y Da. ANGELICA VILLADEMOROS.' THE ACT NAMES NO GRANDPARENTS - this parish's 1873 form does not recite them - so the plate that would have answered the whole question does not. What it does give is ORIENTAL, Uruguayan-born, which matches the 'oriental' of the 1886 and 1888 acts of Alejandro M. Lerena. See the note on that row: the two may be one man. AND THE 1877 ACT SPELLS HIM WITH THE M., AND NAMES HIS PARENTS. 'D. ALEJANDRO M. LERENA ... abuelos paternos D. AVELINO y D.a AMBROSIA TRAIBEL'. THIS ROW AND 'Alejandro M. LERENA (with Julia BASSANI)' ARE THE SAME MAN - the same wife, the same initial, and now the same parents - and they remain two rows only until the merge is done properly. See data/_person-pairs.txt.
