Re: The name "Isband"
Perhaps the "r" was lost due to faulty recording skills. If the parents were Dutch and the birth registrar was some other nationality, they could have misheard what the parents stated at birth as the given name. It's still the same today, with misrecordings of names. When my cousin immigrated here to the States in 2002, his name was recorded on the official paperwork as Rimond. His real name? Raymond.

Thanks for the help. I googled the name also and game up with one entry in a book and as a part of a Hindu marriage ceremony.
