Enlistment 1911–1925

In addition to the civil censuses, there is a record of military enlistment for the period 1911 to 1925. This roll from the General Archive of the Argentine Army documents the members of the Lugones family who registered for conscription and military service during that period.

The list complements the information from the civil censuses and helps trace branches of the family that do not always appear in the general rolls.
