Notes for Moisés Rojo:
      Moises was a farmer assassinated during the Spanish Civil War. Little is known of his fate at the hands of the Republicans. He was captured and held in the tunnels and wine cellars under the city of Aranda de Duero. He was assasinated by firing squad and was buried in a mass grave near Monte Costaján, near Aranda de Duero. This grave was uncovered in 2003 and is undergoing investigation and identification of the 81 bodies found inside.

Notes for Anacleta Benito:

The Cementerio de la Almudena is the largest cemetery in Madrid, Spain and one of the largest in Western Europe. Indeed, the number of its "inhabitants" (probably around five million) now surpasses that of Madrid, since it was the main cemetery for the entire city from 1884 to 1973, and from the 1920s was almost the only one for the majority of the population of Madrid.
