Dear Chris,
As yet I have nothing new. Maria Szaban aka Szabanowicz, lived in Gruzdowo aka Hruzdovo, Chruzdowo now in Belarus. This is located near Lake Narocz in todays Belarus, not far from the Lithuanian border. This area was considered Polish Russia circa 1900. She was born circa Gruzdowo. Married "Frank" Rabalski. Died 1942.
Do you know the exact town your Szaban ancester came from? Or any information to located the place a little more closely? If not the name and any dates related could ne a clue. I would like to put your information on file to watch for connections. Happy rooting
Theresa
