If you have corrections or additional information about the people buried in San Miguel, please let me know for inclusion on this page.

These photos have been resized to under 30 kb for faster loading, but distortion and blurriness has occurred. If you want a copy of the original photo send me the link to the photo(s) or right click on the photo(s), choose properties, and tell me what the last 4 numbers before the .jpg are and I will be glad to send you a copy.
