Surnames: BUBNAS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TCC.2ACE/316.1.1 Message Board Post: Lee, Good luck w/ your crew as I am not having a whole lot of luck with mine. I still have to check some census', and immigration papers, but I haven't given up. I would imagine Bubnas originally had a little carrot over the top of the "s" giving the letter a "sh" sound. So may have been pronounced Bubnash. My great grandfather tried to "Amercianize" the name to Bubin. I have no relatives in MI, but don't know what became of brothers, cousins, etc on my line. What dates do you have for your "oldest" Michael Bubnas? Laura
