Surnames: CABAN
My Grandfather was Felipe (Philip) Caban. He lived in Hawaii and was married to Margaret, my Grandmother. I think he may have been an amatuer boxer at some time. My family came from Puerto Rico, and migrated to Hawaii. I am seeking any relatives from Puerto Rico, Hawaii or wherever. I will post more a as I learn more. I know my Aunty Jennie (Caban) Rodrigues will be very helpful in learning more about my family.

I don't thinks Caban's are Jewish. I am a Caban and I have heard some other Caban's taking a DNA ancestry test and determined they were Irish and/or French. Caban is definitely a European name. All I know is my grandfathers name was Juan Caban and married a woman named Lucy or Lucia. Sound familiar to anybody?

We may not be Jewish... (though Caban is similar to Cohen) but there is a fair amount of intermarriage in our family. Cousin to cousin I've found. Anyone else found that to be true?

I agree... I think we're all related and am as pleased about that as can be! My dad's family came right from PR too, to NYC. in the 1920s. Always been a Caban, always will be!

Dear Mr. Cabán Rodríguez:

I respectfully have to correct your information, since there have been Cabáns in Puerto Rico well before said date. Since many of us in Puerto Rico are of Jewish ancestry, it is common to mask real information by altering dates, to avoid persecution. Especially, during World War II, when the Nazis dared to attack Aguadilla.

The original mentions of the Cabán surname mention it as "Cabán de Avilés", and they were involved in the founding of Aguada. Please contact me at: sedafatima@gmail.com, and I will help you with information about the Cabáns.

Sincerely,

Fatima Seda

My great uncle left for Hawaii to work the pineapple fields and never came back home. Perhaps we are related. I owned a Puerto Rican restaurant here in Las Vegas and met some Caban's from the island. They seemed to think that we were related. I hope you read this annd get back to me.
