Graves
At the beginning of my research journey, I found the most tangible thing to feel connected to Mariana and the people in her life was to locate their graves. While some houses still stand, looking for graves was more likely to garner results and are easier to visit.
As always, there are more questions than answers. Why were those family members buried so far away from each other? Why didn't that couple get buried at their own church? Some answers we'll never find, but if you're interested in visiting the graves, check out their stories and locations below.
