I'm researching my family and my maternal Grandmother is a Czebotar from Belarus (near Baranovichy as it is now). My mother remembers her family and particularly her Grandfather Adam Czebotar who was married to Elzbieta. We put their date of birth at about 1870-1880. They had children (born between 1900 and 1915) Zinaida (my Grandma), Fiodor, Antoni, Lida, Nadziezda, Alexander and Adam. (I give you the names in case we match). Adam was apparantly from a large family himself.
The reason for posting here is that my mother remembers a bit of family history in as much as that Adam converted to Christianity in order to marry Elzbieta from Jewish and wasn't thought of well by the remaining family as a result.
So in searching, you might want to look in the Jewish databases as certainly my mother's recollection is that the Czebotar family were originally Jewish. As far as we know, all but Zinaida remained in Belarus or Russia.
