As it the discussion was refused, the Beni's historians decided to launch national and international public opinion the real background affecting the-lineage of Busch. The data previously unpublished, are the testimonies of the descendants (between 70 and 80 years of age) of Mr Luis Suárez Suárez, Godfather of water of Germán Busch, made near the Carmen of the Iténez, in March 1903, transforming a long tradition oral into a public document, covered by the Hacienda Notary of the departmental Government, dated Tuesday, January 25 at Trinidad (Beni).
