While researching my paternal side, I came across a list of over 20 men and it just says, “Le pasaron por las armas” I looked for a translation it appears that all these men were executed under a firing squad. It was around Jan 1812. Was this still during the Mexican War of Independence and can they be connected. Can anyone please shed some light.I included the link to image.
