The question is, is this Daniel Frances Nolan the correct Daniel Nolan. This Daniel F. Nolan later married Alberta Eugenie Coste.
Daniel's birth date on his birth record and on his World War I draft registration card do not agree with the information on Find-A-Grave.
It appears that there were two Daniel F. Nolans and this might not be the correct one.
