2025.11.22 – Public footprints from Punta Alta: what the records show, and what they still do not

Key Takeaways

Obituary anchor. A local obituary ledger lists Natalia Gambadoro on 17 September 2022, age 91, with the house of mourning at Mitre 1246, Punta Alta.

Crime coverage with addresses. Regional reporting documents the death of merchant Pablo Benito Gambadoro (73) on 30 March 2011 at 12 de Octubre 1258, Ciudad Atlántida, Punta Alta; later coverage cites a 15-year-old suspect.

A sister under one name. Josefa “Pina” (also known as Josefina) appears in official notices; a judicial edict in Coronel Rosales cites “Cosenza Pedro y Gambadoro Josefa.”

Address convergence. A municipal annex lists “CARDILLO N G D E HIJO — Mitre 1246,” tying the Cardillo surname to the same address as the obituary’s house of mourning.

Maternal proof. A National Technological University (UTN) Council resolution (551/2003) formally names Liliana Mabel Rodríguez García as a graduate in Mathematics and accepts her resignation at UTN–Bahía Blanca.

Family-supplied but consistent detail. On the maternal side: Tomás Rodríguez served in the Navy and was formerly the independent owner of a tailor’s shop that was not linked to the Navy; Margarita García was his spouse.

Story & Details

Paternal anchors, plainly stated. An obituary entry supplies three decisive points in one line—date, age, and house of mourning. It reads, in essence: 17 September 2022; 91; Natalia Gambadoro; Mitre 1246, Punta Alta. That single public line is the clearest fixed point in the record and the reference for later address-based checks.

From a line to a household. A municipal annex—an official PDF—lists “CARDILLO N G D E HIJO — Mitre 1246.” While not a civil vital record, it places the Cardillo surname at the very address published in the obituary, strengthening a household link without naming the spouse of Natalia. It supports the inference that the spouse’s surname was Cardillo, yet does not state a given name.

Siblings made visible. A long-standing regional outlet covered the killing of merchant Pablo Benito Gambadoro (73) on 30 March 2011 at 12 de Octubre 1258, and subsequent reports noted a 15-year-old suspect. Within the same news ecosystem, a sister called “Josefina” appears by name; family testimony aligns this with Josefa “Pina,” meaning one person referred to with variant forms.

A formal trail for Josefa. Two institutional publications reinforce that presence. The Buenos Aires Province Official Gazette carries a Peace Court edict in Coronel Rosales that cites “Cosenza Pedro y Gambadoro Josefa.” A separate corporative notice in the same gazette names “Gambadoro Josefa.” Together they turn an informal mention into an official paper footprint.

What remains unnamed. No obituary, edict, or comparable public document located so far states the given name of Natalia’s Cardillo spouse. The address match at Mitre 1246 ties surnames to the same household, but without a named spouse in an institutional record, the given name is not asserted here.

Maternal side, institutionally grounded. UTN’s Council Resolution 551/2003 explicitly names “Lic. Liliana Mabel Rodríguez García” and accepts her resignation as an Assistant at the Bahía Blanca campus. This is the strongest online, institutional proof for the maternal line identified to date.

Maternal detail that fits local history. Family accounts add texture: Navy service for Tomás Rodríguez and, separately, former independent ownership of a tailor’s shop not linked to the Navy; marriage to Margarita García. These claims fit Punta Alta’s blend of military presence and civilian commerce. Elevating them from consistent testimony to publicly verified facts would require a printed notice that names trade and kin together.

Dates as search guides, not overclaims. The obituary lists age 91 on 17 September 2022. That places a likely birth window in late 1930 or 1931 for Natalia and narrows the search for her parents. Without a public document giving an exact birthdate, the article does not supply one.

Conclusions

What stands on public pages. Obituary ledgers, regional reporting with precise addresses, a municipal annex tying a surname to the house of mourning, Buenos Aires Province gazette entries, and a UTN council resolution collectively establish names, places, and roles with durable public sources.

What still does not. The given name of Natalia’s Cardillo spouse is absent from open institutional records reviewed so far and is therefore not asserted. Maternal occupation and service details are retained as consistent family testimony awaiting a printed source that lists them alongside kin.

Where the next answers likely live. Historical necrologies and court edicts in Coronel Rosales and Bahía Blanca that enumerate relatives or print household addresses, plus university or local-press items that name Liliana with family context, are the most efficient next steps.
