Abstract
Forensic geneticists are becoming of great importance referring to the Recovery of Historic Memory of the Spanish Civil War. Spanish geography certainly still hides a lot of graves in which many non-identified civil victims were buried approximately 70 years ago. Amelogenin locus of nuclear DNA analysis may help to confirm whether sex composition coincided with the information gathered in some historic reports, and also with anthropological classification. Occasionally, when there is availability of DNA samples of alleged relatives, the chance exists of analyzing mtDNA to check matching between the maternal lineage of the remains and the alleged relatives. Both, nDNA and mtDNA analyses may provide invaluable information to reconstruct historical episodes and to identify victims of the Spanish Civil War.
