You story about the Gburs of Ohio sounds simular to the Gburs of Chicago.Jacob Gbur came to the US in 1904 and settled in Olephant PA He was a coal miner. Jacob was from Dobra, Galacia, Austria and sailed aboard the ship Alba from Frankfort Germany.He landed in NY,NY in Sept of 1904. Jacob relocated to Chicago in 1906 where he had a half brother and cousins.
Michael Gbur also came to the US around 1904 and relocated to Chicago around 1907.He was most probably a cousin of Jacob.Michael identified his father as Martin Gbur and his mother as Katherine Uhrin.He also identified an older brother Kost (Carl) who stayed in Austria and died in WWI.Michaelalso had a brother John and Maria who were already in the US before 1904. He had a sister Eva who died in Infancy.Martin Gbur died in Austria when Michael was 8 years old or around 1894
I have pictures of these two Gburs and they seem to look simular.If you would like these pictures contact me by clicking on my name above.
