Hi Lance,

Be careful with Polish genealogy and language, my knowledge is giving me the correct spelling of this place as Gabin (not Lublin!), and the right name fully spelled in Polish is Ga~bin, a with Polish grammar diacritical mark ' above the letter,

Lublin, noted from the 10th-century, is the main local town in east Poland, see this place in the detailed map of Poland with zoom in and out:

But this Gabin, noted from 1215, is located in the central Poland, "the cradle of the country", in the Masovia province, with old Russian 'gubernia' town Plock, now capital is Warsaw - Warszawa in Polish - Warshau in German.

Generally, with the genealogical search, it's worth to count the letters, Labin has 5, and each letter could have different version after crossing the ocean, so Labin could be this Gabin:

Hope this helps a little in this wonderful family roots search,

Good luck dear Lance in your search,

Tad - Tadeusz, prince of Polish genealogy, named received by dear Joanne with Kassubian roots from north Prussia, now Poland.
