Goldfoots from Dublin, Ireland
Today a researcher, David Lenten, sent me informtion from the 1911 census of Ireland from Antrim of the Morris Goldfoot family. this is exciting to me as my father was a Morris Goldfoot and his father, Nathan, was found by another researcher at the Londonderry Port in Ireland getting on a ship bound for Canada.
Morris 42 from Russia, having lived in Dublin, with wife Sarah 36 from Russia, had 8 children living with them in Antrim, Ireland in 1911. They were Rachel 13, Bertha 12, Isaac 10, Barney 9, Esther 7, Gerty (Gertrude in my records) 5, Louie 3, and Rosie 2, all having been born in Dublin so they must have recently moved to Antrim. Clifton is also listed. They all lived at Hillview Street.
Thank you David! Bertha and Gerty were already names on my list under Morris. I didn't have his wife's name.
I sure wish people in those days named what part of Russia they had come from. Russia must have included Lithuania where I THINK they came from but am not positive. Everything just says "Russia".
