That is very interesting. I've seen from the lists of mayors of Spanov that several Kupiliks have held that position. I have a fairly extensive list from the descendants of Johan Kupilik. I can send that to you when I find it if you'd like. If I can get your husband's mother's name (as well as the name of her father) that would be a big help. I'll keep you updated on what I find!
Thank you!
