At least, we genealogy nerds might have an improved chance.
JMHO, the husband would need to obtain a divorce or have her declared legally dead, eventually?
Funny you should mention that, Laughing, because I just found
a little notice from 1984 in an Illinois newspaper dealing with the dissolvement of Kelle's marriage. It would seem that
Ferstrom is her married name and
Scott is her maiden name, and we should perhaps also conduct searches after
Kelle Renee Scott, as well.
Anyway, you have to scroll down a bit, and there's a lot of text!
