Multiple burial records for the same person within a few years


By Don Animas - Posted on 11 June 2020

I have noticed a a few instances, at least 5 so far, where a person has two burial records within a few years. This in Nochistlan with the first burial records occurring in the mid 1780s.

One example is below of Maria Duran widow of Lucas de Aguirre.

Why is this occurring?
