Ukraine: Family History

Wu Wei resumes writing about her father's life: “No wonder his nationality was not so clear. And no wonder he could apparently speak Polish, Romanian, Hungarian and Ukrainian when he arrived in Brussels.”

    HI,

    My name is Ken Dubensky – my father was Seymour and his father Moses [Morris]. I have just started putting together information on our family tree and determined the following:

    Family came from Ostrog – Russian Empire
    Naftalia ‘Nathan’ Dubensky was Morris’s father
    Morris was born Nov 12 1889 – came to US in 1906

    Probably not a match – but interesting names are same..

    Feel free to contact me with any updates.

    All the best,

    Ken
