According to Wikipedia, Bitcoin cash was the first Bitcoin fork... is this correct?

If there are earlier forks, would old Bitcoin private keys be 'redeemable' from that fork?

I'm also intrigued by the question of whether a bitcoin in a local wallet means that a new fork can be replaced at any time after a snapshot.

altcoins such as Litecoin and about hundreds of others only used the bitcoin code. in other words they forked bitcoin programatically speaking.

but altcoins like bitcoin cash and about a dozen after it, not only forked bitcoin code (programatically) but also forked the blockchain too. meaning they built on top of the current existing bitcoin blocks at that time. whereas other ones built their own stand alone blockchain.

so no you can not redeem any of the altcoins like LTC
