Joaquín GRACIANI LORENZO63,88 lived at C/ del Noviciado 4 in Madrid, Spain in 1858–1859.89,90 He was born on 14 May 1858 in Madrid, Spain.91 Segûn Victorina BESTEIRO ASENSIO, "Con referencia a Joaquín GRACCIANI LORENZO, su descendencia es muy compleja. Se casó varias veces. Casó con una mujer que tuvo un hijo que no fue suyo, y la abandonó. Esto fue antes de conocer a Manuela SÁNCHEZ LÓPEZ, la madre de sus hijos." (La realidad es que, como el divorcio fue ilegal en aquel tiempo, después de las primeras bodas a la edad de 18, no fueron legal las otras.)

According to Victorina BESTEIRO ASENSIO, Joaquín's descendancy was complex. He was married several times. He married a woman who had a child that wasn't his and he left her. This was before he met Manuela SÁNCHEZ LÓPEZ, the mother of his children. (In fact, however, the fact that divorce was illegal at the time meant that his brief marriage at age 18 was his only legal one. This would cause problems in the future.)
