I am finding that many of the Gburs changed their name after settling in America.Perhaps your great grandfather
Joseph Gbur changed his name.Some of the names that the Gburs used were Bur, Burr, Barr Borick and Burak. Another example was Jacob Gbur of Chicago, his children used the name Kubo.
I rechecked the Ellis Island records and found a Jozef Gburek who came to America in 1903 from Siemuszowa Austria.This Jozef was 38 years old and married.He was staying with a friedn who was living in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. This is probably another Joseph because of the age but he may be a relative of your G grandfather.
