I am looking for anyone who might know more information about my Kobal family.

Here's everything that I know:

My gg grandmother was Marija Kobal born Feb of 1852 in Vipava, Slovenia. She married Andrej Zakrjasek about 1878 in Slovenia. They had a handful of children including my great grandmother, Helena (or Carolina or Lena - she seemed to go by different names) Zakrajsek born 1884 in Vipava. The family may have moved to Trieste, the following year and then to the United States in 1890 where Mary died in 1926 and Andrej in 1902. My great grandmother Helena died when my grandfather was only 5 years old, so much of the family history has been lost. I know there are other Kobal families in Cleveland, so I'm hoping to find relatives.

One last note, Marija's (Mary) father was Anton (Anthony) Kobal, probably born in Slovenia.

Looking forward to hearing from anyone who might be related.
