Chaim and Blume Goldfoot: Russia to South Africa

12/3/06 Denise Goldfoot Bremridge of South Africa explained that Chaim and Blume Goldfoot settled in Dublin at the end of the 1800's. Louis Goldfoot was their 2nd eldest son and his children were Norman and Tanya.

1. Chaim and Blume b: Odessa, Russia were possibly married in the Ukraine. They had 6 children. I don't see my grandfather Nathan Goldfoot fitting into the picture as yet.
2. Nadia Goldfoot f b: Ukraine
m: Arthur E. Abrahams, Res: Cape Town, South Africa, attorney
2. Jennifer Goldfoot f b: Res: Cape Town, South Africa
2. Abraham Goldfoot m, b: Res: Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England doctor
m: Rachel Rappoport b: Wales
3. David Goldfoot
3. Naomi Goldfoot
3. Elizabeth Goldfoot...res: England
2. Louis Goldfoot
2. Solomon "Solly"
2. Isadore

Could this Chaim and wife Blume be the cousin of my grandfather Chaim Itzak? Denise writes "that she can only imagine that her grandfather Chaim left the Ukraine with his wife Blume (Blanche) and their first child Nadia at about the same time as my grandfather Nathan left. They could even have been on the same boat and got off in England together. Chaim and family went to Dublin where I believe there were already members of his family. " The fact that one "cousin" had a child named Nadia and the other "cousin" was Nathan is also interesting. My grandfather Nathan chose to go alone to the USA.
