Hey, Richard!
(if you are ever to visit this site again)
I don't have much info about my ancestors, but some my relatives used to live in Romania and now live in Ukraine (my part of the family lives in Latvia) I know that some of the relatives also changed surname to Huban (as we to Gubane - it is according to Latvian law)
If you think we might come from the same family tree - just write me back
