[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Kielminski

[Spaghettitree at aol.com]

In William F. Hoffman's Polish Surnames, there is Kielm (Lithuanian  root 
kelmas) "stump, bumpkin" or several Lithuanian top., e.g. Kielmin, Keilmy,  
Kielma, Kielmi'nski.

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.
