Goldfoot Genealogy

Merkine, Vilnius, Lithuania may be where Goldfoot people came from. Here is some information about the area.
The town as well as its surroundings started developing in the XIII century as a state centre. According to annals, Grand Duke Gediminas after a successful hunt found a beautiful place not far from the then capital Kernave and decided to build a castle here. That is how a new castle was built in Senieji Trakai, which at that time was called Trakai. The town of Trakai was first mentioned in German annals in 1337, which is regarded to be the official date of its foundation. When Grand Duke Gediminas finally settled in Vilnius, his son the Duke Kestutis inherited Senieji Trakai. This is the birthplace of the most famous ruler of Lithuania - Vytautas Didysis.

This town has an abundance of Goltovt people. When I inserted Goldfoot in Lithuania, this came up in a revision List of 1834.
