Does anyone know what a town that sounded like "Dubrow" in the Pinsk distrist of the Minsk gubernia might actually be? My father listed this as my grandfather's birthplace.

Maybe you are talking about the village of Dubrova (Dubrovo) near Drogichin. It is located in 45 miles to the West of Pinsk.

I honestly don't know if this is the same town. Any idea if it was in the Pinsk district of the Minsk Gubernia back in 1907?

This is the closest place with name like Dubrow to Pinsk. This Dubrovo was in Grodno gubernia in 1907, although it was near the border of the Pinsk district in 1907.
