Neighboring and neighbors of the municipality approached the day of the inauguration of the exhibition, to the search of some ancestor in the enormous genealogical tree of the Bolufer, that for the occasion had prepared the historian, Miquel Almenara. You can also admire documents that are calligraphic treasures. The signature of the 1768 vicar, Jaime Catalá, is at least unusual with an artistic line that simulates a tornado.

Another of the curiosities is one of the first registered deaths, the 11 of January of the 1768, of Cayetano Cervera, widower of Caterina García, to the 100 years of age, draws attention to the extraordinary longevity for the time.
