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
