I've done some documentary research into various folks with the Bedrikovetsky surname from the town Kamyanets-Podolsky and wanted to share some information that may be of interest. [DNA matches led me to several descendants with that name, but it turns out I'm related to a Kitay, and one of the Kitay daughters married a Bedrikovetsky, so I'm not directly related.]
Marcel Bedri immigrated to the US departing Le Havre, France 2 Jan 1920, arriving in New York 19 Jan 1920 on the SS La Lorraine as Mordichai Berikovitsky, 18, student, born in Kamenies, last residing in Jaffa, Syria. Contact is father M. Berikovitzky in Menache, Jaffa, Syria. He is going to friend Jacques Miller 178 14th Str., NYC. His 1926 naturalization petition in Baltimore indicates he was born in Podolsky, Russia as well, but both his 1930 census record and his World War II draft card (1942) say that he was born at sea.

Resided in N.York 1923/1925. Got visa in Paris 7/26. She is going to her brother Marcel Bedri, 9404 [____] Pl, Baltimore, Md.
There are various Bedrikovetskys from the area around Kamyanets-Podolsky but so far I haven't been able to connect them to your family. A descendant from one of the other families reported that they came from the village of Bedrikovtsi, not far from Kamenets Podolsky, which is where their last name came from.” See this map for two options on this village: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Bedrykivtsi,+Khmelnytskyi+Oblast,+U...
