Samuel Byck

Hi. My queries are about Samuel Joseph Byck (1930-1974). 1- In the film "The Assassination of Richard Nixon" it appears that he had a brother named Julius. Is a historical fact or fiction? 2- What were his parent´s names? Thanks. Daniel, 4 July 2016 88.10.201.162 (talk) 07:11, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Various sources (search Google Books) indicate that Byck was one of three siblings. From this entry in the 1940 census, which closely corresponds to his biographical details, it would seem that his brothers were named Carl and Melvin. So, apparently, no Julius. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 00:46, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, hasirpad. So his parents´s names were Louis and Esther? Daniel, 9 July 2016 88.10.201.162 (talk) 03:06, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
