I am trying to find information about my grandparents. My information is sketchy, but here goes:
My paternal grandparents were:
Charles Carl Slaughter (deceased)
Thelma Blaine Spacht (Slaughter)(deceased)
I do not know their places of birth, my grandfather was born in 1898 and my grandmother was born in 1907. I know that when they were married my grandfather was age 21 and my grandmother was age 13. They had 8, possibly 9 children (one might have had a twin that died at birth).They are:
Carl Monroe Slaughter (deceased)
Lena Louelle Slaughter (deceased)(?possible twin died at birth)
Ernest Paul Slaughter (deceased)(my father)DOB:15Dec1925
Helen Lucille Slaughter (deceased)
Charles Albert Slaughter
Doris Isabelle Slaughter
Ralph Edwards Slaughter
John Harry Slaughter
The area of the country they lived was West Virginia, possibly in Buchannen or Morgantown.
My maternal grandparents were:
John Zomack (deceased)DOB: 25Mar1890
Catherine ?Balash (Zomack)(deceased)DOB: ?2Jun1894
They lived in Seelyville, Indiana. My grandfathers' name could have been spelled CZOMACK, at one time, it was possibly changed at immigration. My grandfather was from Bohemia/Czechoslavakia. His father's name was Elias Zomack. His mother's name was Anna Kuhla. (They possibly immigrated to Ellis Island 1895-1900.)
My grandmother was born in West Virginia, possibly a town/county named Pocohontus. Her mother's name was Catherine Merva Ilasinko Balash. Her father's name was John Balash. He was an only child. They both were from the Austria/Czech area. John and Catherine Zomack had two children. They are:
Martha Mary Zomack (Slaughter)(my mother)
Helen Ann Zomack (McKee)
Any information, no matter how little, would be appreciated. Thanks.
