Born 1859, not 1861 edit
According to this study based on an extensive research, Marx was born Simon Marx in 1859 in Mertzwiller, Alsace. Alsace was French then, it became German (again) only in 1871. --RCS (talk) 16:25, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Why does this page exist? edit
Why is there a page for the father of the Marx Bros? Their mother was a driving force behind them during the early years so I can understand her having a page, but I'm unaware that their father did anything. I noticed that the original version of this page said he was a vaudeville performer, but that was removed. If he ever was he may not be even notable for that reason. Any info about him could probably be included in the Marx Bros article. BashBrannigan (talk) 06:16, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Frenchie's original name edit
I think Frenchie's original name was Marrix, not Marx.---- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.240.228.126 (talk) 03:57, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
