The Other Pages menu contains all those pages we didn't quite know what to do with:
E-mail queries — this page contains e-mails of interest that we have received over the years. It is dedicated to those brave souls who have dared to question us about the Benitz family!
Names cited (by) — these pages each contain background material (such as: maps & lists of “People and Place Names”) relevant to a particular locale and set of diaries and day-books: La California — Frank & Alfred diaries, estancia day-books; North Santa Fé — Laguna Yacaré & Los Palmares day-books, Alfred notes of his hunts; and Los Algarrobos — John's notes & diaries.
Spanglish Glossary — our ancestors in the Argentine camp spoke Spanglish, a mixture of English interspersed with words and phrases derived from the Spanish they used in their everyday activities. This is a glossary of those camp Spanglish terms. (Begin by reading the definition for “camp”.)
Measures — Our ancestors used the currencies and measures of Argentina, Germany, Mexico, UK, USA, and Venezuela. This page explains how we arrive at modern equivalents for past measures and monetary values of the 19th century when each country, state, province, or even city had its own systems.
