[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] More Questions on Germans in Marijampole

[Jerry Frank]

A simple GOOGLE search suggests that Wilbat / Wilbath is a valid Germanic surname and the V would certainly be a W substitute, especially given the close connection to Lithuanian usage.

Not sure about Kielminski.  Certainly could have been Polinized but no idea what from.
