Yitzchak (Itzko) Kibrick

Based on notes of Boris Shpilderman's research, I have changed the date of Itzko/Yitzchak Kibrik's birth to 1850. RLN 12/26/2020. What is shown below is my research results from earlier years.

On a handwritten family tree which I believe was sent to me by Stephen K. Katz of Philadelphia in 2006, but only rediscovered by me today, it is written that this Yitzchak Kibrik chose the family name Kibrik in response to Russian requirements of the time to choose a family name. RLN 1/31/2016

From a March 1, 2016 email from Stephen K. Katz about his ancestors:

About Shmuel: All I have is a photo of Shmuel and Rivka with their children Moshe, Bosya, Gerisha, Raya and Sonya. Shmuel's birthdate is listed as "?1875". Also, his oldest child Chaim was born in Vinkovtsi. That is all that I have.

Regarding Yitzhak, the father of Shmuel and Moishe: All I have is my father's genealogy charts, which are family trees that contain names and some dates. He did not list sources, but he was conscientious in his research. On his chart labeled B-2 he provides the ancestry of my grandparents Chaim and Esther Kibrick.

RLN: Personally, I think the most likely answer to the lineage of Chaim Kibrik is that the Yitzhak born circa 1822 is the brother of Shmuel and Moshe Kibrik, who were also born in the 1820's., The best evidence of this theory is that the is the time period in which Ashkenazic Jews chose family names--and Stephen Katz indicates Yitzhak chose the family name, Kibrik--coincides with an earlier generation than that born in the 1850's.

Consistent with this theory, the Yitzhak who was the father of Chaim would have been born c. 1850, making him a brother of Elihu Kibrik (1850) who is the grandfather of Salvador and Leon Kibrick of Buenos Aires as well as of Israel, my great grandfather.

This Yitzhak would likely have been one of the eight [8] sons of Shmuel Kibrik, born 1825, as reported to me by Todd Simon from a conversation he had with Alice Kibrik Simon, the granddaughter of Israel Kibrik.

Stephen Katz wrote "My grandfather Chaim Kibrick traveled to Buenos Aires as a young man through his connection with his cousins Salvador and Leon."
