Nathan Goldfoot, maybe?

I just found something interesting on ancestry.com through Jewishgen.

I found Nokhim Goldovt b: 1874 in Merkine, Trakai, Vilnius, Lithuania on the Belarius & Lithuania census & Family List of 1795-1900. He was registered as the son. This is all the information given except the registration number was #1863, Lvia/381/11/1594 page 110 was also given.

As I look at this Lithuanian name, I can see Nathan Goldfoot in it. I've been hoping or looking for something like English, and of course it would be different. This could be him. I have his birthdates as questionable, but hovering around August 5, either 1872 or 1874, according to dates given.

Comments:
If you google Goldovt or Goldoft you'll find a lot of information about that family name. I think the Nathan you found has a bio written by his family. Not a Goldfoot, but an interesting similarity of names. He was in Chicago, then Texas. Try http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/topics.obits2/27248/mb.ashx
for a bio on Nathan and his brother Maurice.
