Alternative surmane spellings (mostly misspelled in various documents): Brückmann, Brynkman, Bryngman, Brigman, Brigmann, Bringman, Prikman, Brinkman, Brikman, Brickmann, Briggmann, Brytman, Brycman, Bracman, Britman, Britmann, Bryhman, Bryntman, Brintman, Bruckman, Brüggemann, Bruggemann, Brugeman, Brueggeman, Brynkmann, Briefmann, Brekman. Lived at Czerniakowska 2997 in Warsaw and Wilcza 1698 in Warsaw. Family tale has it that Jan's family came from Germany (Berlin), that Jan or his ancestor were in the army, fallen in love with someone and stayed in Warsaw. Aparently the surname used to sound more like Brigman than Brykman as it was changed over the years and that it used to mean "bridge keeper" which would be Brüggemann. There is also possibility that the surname oryginally was Brinkmann since it exists with this spelling in some of the records and this is more likely since we have couple DNA matches with Brinkmann surname in the trees. His wife Katarzyna was mentioned in 1903 on her death record as "widow" so Jan had to die before her. Most likely DOB: 04/09/1926. There were two Jan Brykmann brothers: Jan Henryk and Jak Franciszek. According to the age at the birth of their children, this is Jan Franciszek and his younger brother is Jan Henryk.
