[marron]Summary[/marron]

The appropriation of children during the military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1982), and the restitutions made possible thanks to the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo and the Law, have made it possible to think about essential matters concerning genealogy, recovery of names and filiations. On studying some of these cases where children born during their mothers’ illegal detention, were abducted immediately after birth, have lead us to think that psychical footprints, known as pre-primary identification may exist in children prior to their birth. Three cases of grandchildren, recovered due to the tireless work of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, are used to introduce the importance of a child’s first name, the ties with their original families and the process of restitution.
