Hi Ya, Tonya and Good Morning. I don't think I have any of your Urbans in
my ancestry. My family is mostly from New York City area. I did have an
Uncle that I can't account for. I haven't found him on the 1920 Census for
New York City. But that doesn't mean he wasn't listed. He could have moved
to another state. Urban, I have found out, is a very common name like Smith
and Jones. I grew up thinking that Urban was a very uncommon name. Unique,
in fact. But in my research, I have not been able to get past my
grandparents, Henry and Anne (Kestner) Urban. I know that they had nine
children, of which my father was one. I am still researching around the
1900's. I haven't gone into the 1800's yet.

I am going to keep your message and when I get to that point in my research,
I will get back in contact with you. Then maybe we can compare notes.

Happy Hunting.
