[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Kaminski and Sebroski from Rypin

[Gary Warner]

Hal,

I do not see any Brinkmann or Brickmann names in our databases that seem 
to fit the information that you have provided.   I also do not see any 
records that seem to match up for Sebroski or Zabroski or Kaminski.

You will want to keep an open mind when you look for surnames that end 
in ski, as they may be the Polish version of a German name.   For 
instance, it is well documented that Kaminski (from the Polish word 
Kamien, meaning stone) is linked to the German name Stein and Steinke 
(both of which have Stein, or stone as part of the name.   I have no 
hard evidence, but it appears that the Polish language is a bit vague in 
translations at times, so the German name might be anything with Stein 
as part of the name, including Koberstein, or other names.   I also do 
not see any records that match with the data you have given below using 
names that have Stein as part of the name.   The best way to find out if 
any of our data matches yours, however, is for you to submit a gedcom 
file with your data in it.   Please see the submittal standards at
