The past haunts me always

Hello!


This afternoon I spent the doing something more productive with my time, I did some research on my genealogy tree. It's been a long while since I haven't done some work on it so today I decided to tackle, again, the apparent link that my family has with a notorious criminal, one of the worst murderers, a very bad guy from my country, Chele Medrano (José Alberto Medrano).

Jose Alberto Medrano

I have mentioned it in the past that my grandmother, her sister and my mother always claimed that we had geologic connection with him. But the brother of my grandmother claimed that there wasn't any connection whatsoever, it was just fluke that the he had the name Medrano. keep in mind that my grand uncle had socialist tendencies, tormenting the uprising of the people of his town back in 1932 when there was a lot of people killed by the army, funny enough the brother of Chele Medrano was also killed by the army during this time.

Rutilio Grande

Well at this point I'm still looking. I cannot prove or disprove that we were related. I can only tell you that he was a really really, really bad guy. He basically created the death squads in my country and he's also to blame for having trained the man who killed or sent to killed Msgr. Romero. But before this he was also involved in the death of one of my grand uncles from my father's side. This person's name was Rutilio Grande, this was the brother, half-brother, of my grandfather. My grandfather's mom had an affair with a gentleman by the name of Flavio Grande, but she never did get married with him and therefore my grandfather had the name Guzman instead of Grande.




It's complicated I know, I'm pretty sure you have skeletons in your closet too...


Hasta mañana people!


PS isn't blood funny? I always wanted to join the Army but I also wanted to be a priest... I'm just a fucked up handicap!
