    • 06 Apr 2022 - No record of the marriage of Marie and Elmer can be found on ancestry.com. However, records of Elmer being married to another individual are plentiful. Additionally, the marriage date we had entered for Marie and Elmer turned out to be the date of her marriage to Pat DAILEY.

      Elmer's name and the (incorrect) marriage date come from the original family tree in the Histories section of the online tree.

      Despite the anomalies, Marie's surname at the time of death was MONTI and the dates from various sources do align.
