I am trying to find anyone who knows of the Slaby family from Staunton, IL. His real name was Ignatz slabig and his wife was Mary Kobilac until they changed it to Slaby when they were married around 1900. They came over on the boat from I believe Czech..
They had 6 children and made their living in the coal mine. I believe he died around 1940's whereas, she died in 1920 from an abcess.
Thanks,
