recording of monuments. First search in Mercedes local cemetery
(1860-1930). Most graves are abandoned, broken, and illegible,
so many Irish names are lacking. Most of the individuals are
from Westmeath. |

I am indebted to the above-mentioned transcribers of these lists,
who generously shared their field work. Among them, the research
of the late Héctor G. Roldán was precious to understand burial and
other records in Salto.
