My guess is that "Chalabay" is Shelby in Macomb County, Michigan. Some
simple google searches with key words "michigan-shelby-sugar beets" will get
you loads of leads and info. There is also a Shelby in Oceana County.

Subject: [MIGEN] town named CHALABAY?
I have been trying to trace my grandparent's movements after
arriving in
the US in 1904
I've been told - for awhile the worked in sugar beet fields in "CHALABY"
Michigan
I can't locate that name - am I misspelling?
what could it be and where in the early 1900's were sugar beet fields?
thank you
