Jorge Besteiro Gracciani

• Notas de nacimiento

  Full name: Jorge Amando. His is the only birth, marriage or death certficate that I've found (as of 4/2003) in which the spelling Gracciani ("cc") was used. His mother and grandfather are also referred to as "Gracciani," which was not the spelling on their birth certificates. Es el único caso (abril 2003) que sepa yo en que se usa la ortografía Gracciani (es decir "cc") en un acto de nacimiento, casamiento, o defunción.
  
  

• Notas de defunción

  Died of colon cancer.  Ernestina ÁGUILAR BESTEIRO  writes "Pocos minutos después de enterrarlo (la tumba en tierra no pudieron acabar de revestirla interiormente) salieron evacuados porque entraban en el pueblo las fuerzas del Gra. Franco y ellos estaban comprometidos políticamente." (Before the burial ceremony was complete the family had to be evacuated, as Franco's troops were entering the town and they were politically "compromised.")  Violeta BESTEIRO MARTÍNEZ añade que la familia estaba dando tiros al aire en honor de Jorge.  Las tropas franquistas, pensando que eran los repúblicanos, respondieron (the Besteiro family was shooting in the air to honor Jorge.  Franco's troops returned the fire, making their presence known).
