Notes for Samuel Shiplacoff: RESEARCH NOTES ================== Surname was originally "Krarichka" or something similar. Meant "little chicken". I found Karichka which is a Russian dance mostly performed by women. In other languages the dance translates to "little circle", this might be the actual word/surname.
