In the Nowogrod register in for the year 1889 Akt 30 was filed by Aron Kaufman, Akt 31 and 32 by Szlema Kikman and Akt 33 by Ick Kaufman. Obviously all three were related and went to register together. Because of this I have assumed that Ick and Aron are brothers. In between their record was registered the birth of Izrael Lipkiewicz. In 1836 Israel's grandfather Leyba Libkiewicz married Cyma Kaufman. I am therefore assuming that Abram, their son was going to register a birth with his cousins
