Pre 1980 Telshi, Korvno Goldfoot Family
It starts with Goldfoot, a wealthy corn merchant in Russia (Telshi, Korvno June 7, 1862. This was a respected family who was allowed freedom of movement in and out of Russia. )( I wrote in notes that it was Sampson and Sarah Rebecca). The sons were exempted from military service. He had 3 sons; Isaac, Abraham, and another son. Isaac married Anne Spiro. He was a dentist and went to Brymaur, South Wales. Abraham married his cousin, Bella Robinson. He was a dentist in Cork, Ireland. The unknown son went to Whitehaven and became a dentist. Abraham had 4 children; Moseley, a doctor, George, a doctor and dentist who never married, Jack, a dentist, and Jessie who married her cousin Barney. Jessie and Barney had a son Derek, who was alive at the time this tree was made. Derek married Sybil. He was a doctor. Barney was a part of the Irish contingent: They were Hinde and Zippa, twin sisters, Simon, who was the father of Stanley Goldfoot, Louis, a dentist, and Barney. Stanley's siblings were Flo and Kathleen. Stanley was and still is very active in Israel. He was chief of intelligence in the Stern Group and was said to be responsible for the famous blowing up of the Hotel King David. Flo and Kathleen and Stanley were also alive at the time this tree was made.
Isaac and Anne Spiro had 3 children; Sam, Arthur, and an unknown daughter. Sam married Annette and Sam was still alive at the time, Arthur was a dentist and he married Jessie. Sam and Annette had a son Geoffrey who was still alive.
Other related Goldfoot: Abie who was a doctor, Solly who was a doctor, Nadia who married Shllomo or Solomon, and Jenny.
South African Settlers were Simon, Barney, Louis, Solly, Nadia and Jenny. Also cousin Ian and possibly Simon was the father, and from Louis was Nadine Grace.
"Simon's daughter Flo married an uncle of mine in South Africa. She is a cousin of my husband Derek. I suppose this makes Derek miy uncle-in-law...and it makes me his 2nd cousin-in-law. " Words of the Goldfoot tree maker on back of the tree.
In Canada: Sam Goldfoot-brother to Rene who is Derek's cousin--lives at Vinei Crescent Toronto/Montreal, Canada.
From Wales: Rene-Jessie-Sam (related to Sam Goldfoot of Canada, Jessie and a daughter.
On the back I had notes of Yikiel connected to David, Samuel Moses of Bloomfountain, South Africa, and Leib.
Stanley Goldfoot's father was Simon, and he may have been from Bloomfountain, S. Africa.
