I am doing genealogy for my paternal family.

Berta/Bertha Marie(a) Montemayor married my Stephen Lea Ely and they had a dtr Elizabeth. Stephen got his Ph.D at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Philosophy and was on staff there for many years. He died of cancer in 7 May 1947 in Madison, was cremated and buried in a lot owned by Bertha in Madison.

Bertha died November 8, 2008 in Fairhope, Alabama. She had been married 4X (once before Dr. Ely, then Robert Crafton Gilpin, then pediatrician Rollie Berghard in Alabama who died in 07-08.

Bertha was the dtr of Gustaf and Elvira Villareal Montemayor born 15 June 1921 in San Antonio. About 1926, the family moved to Janesville, Wisconsin where Gustav worked for the Parker Pen Co. Bertha attended Janesville schools and the University of Wisconsin at Madison where she met Stephen. She had a brother Charlie who died of cancer in early 2008 (maybe Xmas).

Any Montemayor info would be helpful. I'd be glad to trade.
