laban in south pacfic island of samoa
I was told that my 3 x great grandfather a chemist graduate educated in boston usa of danish descent came to samoa around the 1800's. His name was peter laban (or peter jacob laban). We had a laban family reunion in samoa 2002 and can not trace any further back from peter laban. We dont know who his father or mother or brothers or sisters are or if he was originally from denmark or usa. He came to samoa as a chemist and helped the samoan people in medicine and oil extraction from copra.
