Old and New Goldfus/fuss

I have found in the Litvak SIG information on Jewishgen a Yakov Goldfus in 1841.
He was living in Telsiai, Telsiai, Lithuania and was listed in the Ateret Shaul Prenumeranten Lists.

More recently found was a David Goldfuss in Lauckura, Telsiai, Lithuania in Kaunas. He was a Holocaust survivor and was found in 1946 in Italy. Little did he know that my brother is David Goldfoot, and that we didn't know of another David. We named David David for a ggrandmother Devorah.

Another person most likely with David was Leibe Goldfuss. This person was found in the same place and was from the same place as David.

Volf Goldfus, son of Borukh Goldfus, was 20 years old and missing in a census on June 20, 1868. No doubt they wanted him for the army, but I could be wrong. This was also in Lithuania.
