Curious to find anyone who is related or may know of someone who is.
If someone from Kuty reads this... i would even be happy to know if there are any other Kiprans in the phone book!
Kepron is certainly one of those "port of entry errors". The only alternative spelling I have is "Kipran" but I would wager that that is a changed name too.
May have Turkish origins - not sure.
Earliest known ancestor was Oleksa Kipran from Kuty.
Bakun - Earliest known ancestors were anna, john, theodore, marusia bakun - also from Kuty or nearby.
If you are related - I have most of the Canadian Ukrainians genealogicaly mapped out.
Please respond by e-mailing me... i get a chance to check this site infrequently.
Thanks,
Chris
