A am Joseph and Mary Zalar's granddaughter. Many descendants live in
Joliet. The sons names were Joseph,
Hubert and Richard. The daughters were
Vida, Marion and Delores. My father was Dr. Joseph A. Zalar, deceased. The only son of Mary and Joseph still alive is Dr. Richard
Zalar still living in
Joliet. My grandfather was from Forest City, Pa. and had come from Slovenia. He was a teacher in Yugoslavia and worked in a coal mine in
Pennsylvania. My father, Joseph, was originally married to Margaret
Slattery. They had two children, Joseph and Charles before she died. My father then married Enid
Bruning and they had two children, Enid(me) and Nanette. Joseph's second wife already had one child, Robert. We are all living in
Illinois. My uncle
Dick, Joseph's only surviving son, knows much history about his parents.
