This is my connection: Eileena Sloan of Ames OK md Unknown Laubham. Eileena probably same generation as my father who was b. 1918 and would assume Unknown Laubham the same. I believe they had a son named Roger who was born about 1951 in Ames area (my aunt Celia Sloan sent me a card in Feb 1956 in which she mentioned Roger's birthday was Feb 6). I have since learned that at the Ames Cemetery are buried David Conrad Laubham (1913-1980); Matilda (1886-1963); Conrad (1876 - 1955). As you mentioned, the name is rare and I think, but do not yet know if David is Eileena's husband. In that same cemetery I found Eileena's father and mother, W. Maurice Sloan and Cecilia J. (Graves) Sloan. I do know that the Sloan family and Graves family emigrated eastward from the New England area over several decades and that at least one of my direct ancestors married into a Pennsylvania Dutc! h family. For anyone who is searching for Graves, I have also learned more about the immediate family of Paul William Graves. I may be contacted directly at my email address or through this forum. For both names I am greatly indebted to the Major County Genealogical Society and OKMAJOR-L@rootsweb.com.
