Basándose en registros parroquiales, una línea de tiempo reconstruida y ADN autosómico, este investigación concluye que Francisco Pena de Adragonte, un jornalero soltero de Paderne, probablemente fue el padre de Marcos Puentes (bautizado en 1865 en Ferreira). Un segmento largo compartido en el cromosoma 2 triangula entre los descendientes de Francisco y los bisnietos de Marcos. El hermano de Francisco, Lino, sigue siendo una alternativa lejana debido a su matrimonio en el momento de la concepción de Marcos.

Who fathered Marcos Puentes? A tale of two migrant families with roots in Paderne
Drawing on parish records, a reconstructed timeline, and autosomal DNA, this report concludes that Francisco Pena of Adragonte, an unmarried day laborer from Paderne, was most likely the father of Marcos Puentes (baptized 1865 in Ferreira). A long shared segment on chromosome 2 triangulates between descendants of Francisco and Marcos’ great-grandchildren. Francisco's brother Lino remains a distant alternative due to his marriage at the time of Marcos' conception.

Forging Romanitas: The Intersection of Urbanization and Identity in Mérida
This research paper investigates how urbanization shaped a shared Roman identity across the diverse Roman Empire. Focusing on western cities like Pompeii and Mérida, it explores how urban features and economic opportunities fostered a cohesive "Romanness" among varied ethnic groups. The study examines the influence of elite-driven building projects, Roman architecture, and urban planning, while considering the geopolitical context. By analyzing the interplay of physical structures and economic dynamics, it highlights urbanization’s role in forming a collective identity, offering insights into cultural identity development in ancient societies.
