Jacob Goldfoot Arrives in Philadelphia, Penn.

I found Jacob Goldfoot, Russian, born abt 1884, on the Philadelphia Passenger Lists. He arrived in Philadelphia on January 3, 1895. He came from Liverpool, England and had been in Manchester for four years. He was 11 years old traveling alone. The ship was the Kensington. He was meeting his brother, listed as friend, H. Shneider. and his destination was New York. The address was 200 Madison Street, New York.

On the 1930 census of Manhattan, New York, NY, I found Jacob Goldfoot b: abt 1883 in Poland. Most likely this is the same person. He now was married to Sarah b: abt 1887. Their daughter was Hilda b: abt 1915, and had two sons. One was Harry Goldfoot b: abt 1919, and the other was George b: abt 1923. Being he was born in Poland/Russia, I would think that this was a Jewish family and we finally have a Jewish George.
