Goldfus in Jamaica Just Found
My brother just found Joel Goldfus in Jamaica. He is the owner of the Goldenfoot Villa. I've just sent him an e-mail asking him for information. That is very exciting. I've known that there are Jewish cemeteries in Jamaica, and that Jamaica has quite a history of Jews living there from the time of British ownerships, going there to estabish businesses.

Update: Today we made contact through e-mail. Joel is an ad-man living in California very close to my nephew, Joel Goldfoot, who is also an ad-man using the computer. Goldfus hopes to make contact with Goldfoot.
His grandparents were Joseph and Ann J. Goldfus from Russia. They immigrated to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Joel was born to Charles and Sylvia Goldfus, Joseph's son. Charles and Sylvia were born in Minneapolis. Joseph came over with his brother, I presume. He was living with Henry Goldfus in 1900 in a boarding house and was listed as married. Henry was born on July 28, 1871 and was listed as single. He may be connected to the Goldfus family I had found in Jerusalem, Israel: the Chaim Goldfus cousins. We hope to learn more.
