Life

Enriqueta Estela Barnes de Carlotto was born on October 22, 1930 in Buenos Aires to Miguel Alejandro Barnes and Edwig Frances May Wauer.

After graduating from high school, she married Guido Carlotto. She was teacher and director of Colonel Branden National School and President of the Argentine Association of National Schools for Quality Assurance (Junta de Calificación de Escuelas Nacionales). In 1978 she joined the grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo to look for her pregnant daughter Laura Estela (born February 21, 1955 - August 25, 1978), who disappeared from November 26, 1977 to August 25, 1978. She was also looking for her grandchild, who was born in captivity in June 1978.

On August 5, 2014, her grandson, whom her captive daughter named Laura Guido, became the 114th grandson of the grandmothers found in Plaza de Mayo . The 36-year-old musician Ignacio Hurban had, on his own initiative, subjected himself to a DNA comparison with the national database, thereby ascertaining his origin and again taking his maiden name Guido Montoya Carlotto.
