The 1850 census of Bergthal Colony identifies his son Franz (Friedrichsthal #12, formerly of Neu-Osterwick), as the son of Jakob Klaas Dyck, implying that Jacob's father was named Klaas. This contradicts information from the edited Bergthal Gemeinde Buch, which identifies his father as Jacob Dyck of Nieder Chortitza, citing the Jacob Epp diary.

It appears likely that Jacob came to Chortitza Colony with the Jacob Dyck (b. about 1754) who settled in Nieder Chortitza, and certainly there was no Klaas Dyck in the early days of Chortitza Colony who could have been his father. It would seem that the identification of his son Franz as the son of Jacob Klaas Dyck is in error, although it is also possible that Jacob was the son of a Klaas Dyck who died before 1803 and that Jacob was taken into the family of Jacob Dyck (b. about 1754).
