I received your message wondering if your Zaller family is connected to my Zalar family. I've been researching my family tree a bit. My grandfather (John Zalar) came to the US in 1913 along with several brothers. I don't know if they all came at the same time or not. I do know that except for my grandfather moving to Shamokin, PA (Notheasteren PA) to work in the coal mines, his brothers moved to western PA and Ohio to look for work. Also one brother went back to Slovenia. My aunt tells me she thinks there were 7 brothers in all. I'm currently trying to find out their first names, and if they changed the spelling to Zaller or vise versa. I'll try to keep you informed.
