I printed off the vital Statistics Records of Telsiai Jewish Community of Goldfuss. This came from an unsigned website mentioning contacting Mike Posnik and Abraham Goldberg who are connected to the Telsiai Goldfuss branch.
1. Abram ben " Goldfuss b. ca 1750;d. ca 1825
2. Yankel ben Abram Goldfuss b: ca 1775; d. ca 1867
3. Josel ben Yankel Goldfuss b. ca 1800; d. ca 1880
4. Abram ben Yosel Goldfuss b. ca 1825; d. ca 1895 m. Ginda ?
5. Chana-Pera bat Abram Goldfuss b. ca 1850 d ca 1925 m. David ben Yankel-Chaim Aizikovicz
1. Movsha ben Yosel Goldfuss b. ca 1835 d. ca 1877 m. beila ?
2. Boruch ben Movsha Goldfuss b. ca 1870 m. Itta
3. Voolf ben Boruch Goldfuss b. ca 1890 m. Chana
4. Srol ben Voolf Goldfuss b. ca 1910
Abraham Goldberg wrote that his maternal great grandfather lived in Telsiai 100+ years ago and had a first cousin Avrohom Goldfuss. He seems to be the father of a vertitable tribe. Avrohom had a number of children, one of whom was Zalman m: Chaya Faige Frijohn. He and other siblings moved to Dublin, Ireland and changed his name to Goldfoot.
So my name must have been originally, "Goldfuss," and Nathan must have changed it when he went to England to Goldfoot. We also have an Avraham in our family as Nathan's first boy child was named Avraham, and then he died as an infant.
