Rec'd msg. I know my GGrandfather Martin 1st came to US in 1899 (naturalization papers) and returned to Slovenia at least once prior to 1905. He married Frances Okorn (Okoren/Okoron) and their 1st daughter (my Grandmother, Mary) was born in Jan of 1905. I know that martin returned to US in March of 1905 (passport) to stay with his brother John in Sparta, MN (ship manifest & Johns address was listed in back of Martins passport). Frances & Mary came in November of 1905 (passport).

Johan Drobnic from Pueblo, CO; Anton Zigman from Joliet, IL were also listed in the back of his passport.

Martin's passport spells his name Zalar, Martin signed his documents Zallar. I have seen papers for martin with these spellings: Zoller, Zaller, Zohler, etc.....

I believe Martin had been in PA & CO prior to 1905 but have no supporting data. I have papers written in Slovenian (from martin) that I'm trying to translate. May provide some info.

I have no other information for siblings or parents at this time but will update you as I can
