Another Declaration of Intention: Louis Jermulowske, Brother of Addie
The S.S. St Paul of 1904 Found: Place of BirthLouis Jermulowske, brother of Addie Goldfoot nee Jermulowske, immigrated to the states at age 21. He was a whole foot taller than Addie, measuring 5'6" and weighing 160 lbs. While she had black hair, his was brown. He said he was born in Russia Poland, not giving a city or town or shtetl. He was born on December 20, 1883. He came a different route than Addie. He came through Liverpool, England on the S.S. St. Paul, and had been living in Leeds, England, for how long it didn't say. Like all Declarations of Intention, it said that it is my bona fide intention to renounce forever all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, and particularly to Nicholas II, Emperor of all the Russias, of whom I am now a subject.
He arrived in New York's port on or about the 10th of June, anno Domini 1904, the year after Addie had come over. I note that he declared earlier than Addie did. He applied on the 12th of February, 1912 at the Circuit Court in Multnomah County, Portland, Oregon at age 29. He swore that he was not an anarchist; not a polygamist nor a believer in the practice of polygamy; and it was his intention in good faith to become a citizen of the United States of America and to permanently reside therein: so Help Me God.

WWI Draft and Registration in 1918 said he was 34 years old, making birthdate: 1884.
WWII Draft and Registration in 1942 said he was 56 years old, making his birthdate 1886. According to the paper, he said he was born November 20, 1886 in Laada, Lithuania. This is the first time I've seen evidence that the Jermulowskes were from Lithuania and not just Poland or Russia. Most all Goldfoots were also from Lithuania though Nathan had just said Russia.
In 1942 Louis was living in Hotel Washington, Weiser, Washington, Idaho. His wife Dinah, maintained the Portland home at 2818 SW 1st Avenue. If he was like his nephew, Maurice Goldfoot, he would buy during the week in Idaho and then return to Portland on the weekends.

Declaration of Intention of Grandmother Addie Goldfoot
I'm looking at my grandmother's Declaration of Intention again. She signed it at age 31 when she was already a widow with 4 little children. Addie, whom I thought was named Hattie, was only 4'6" tall and weighed 107 pounds with black hair. She was so short because she had been injured in "Suwalki, Russia, (Poland) probably in some form of pogram. I believe her legs had been broken.
On it she said she was born in Zuwalta, Russia on the 11th day of January 1886. At the time she was living in Portland, Oregon at 265 Arthur Street. This was in South Portland, a predominately Jewish-Italian neighborhood. She went to the Mead Street Shul, and my father attended the Neighborhood House for different events.
She came from Hamburg, Germany's port through the port of New York, NY about on 6 May 1903, but filled out the Declaration on the 17th of May 1917, so had to rely on her memory. She said the name of the ship was "Altverten", but I've never found it. My father, her 2nd child, was only 9 years old. Someone helped her to get to the court and to understand, as she only spoke Yiddish. My uncle Charlie, her 1st, was only 11.
I haven't found her coming through NY yet, even with the help of Steven Morse's help, but will keep trying. She would have been only 17 years old. Was she alone or with any of her sisters? These are things I'd love to know. On the paper was written, "I was married" under her last foreign residence, but I know she wasn't. How such things get misconscrewed, I'll never know.
Maybe she was supposed to marry someone and ran away to America to avoid it. Now that would be a story.

Q1b Found in Northwest China
Below is some news from Prof. Krupa of Croatia on Q1b's.
The recent discovery of the rare Haplogroup Q1b in Northwest China(Xinjiang), otherwise also present in the 5% of the Ashkenazim, is considered fully conversant with the history of the Royal Ashina Turks and the known genealogies of Turkic Royalty. The Khazar Empire was ruled by a branch of the Ashina Royal Clan, and converted to Judaismat around 740 to 861 AD."

My Female Line's DNA Hattie Jermulowske-Wdna
We found out through my grandmother's granddaughter (my first cousin) from her daughter, Ann, that the female line is of W haplogroup, a haplogroup not even mentioned in the book "The Seven Daughters of Eve." It branches off of N, of which there are two; N1 and N2. One of these has more Ashkenazi Jewish ladies than the other. All indications are that my grandmother came from the wrong one. Now I see that they also have different W's.
P.S. 11/2/2010: The latest thought is that W's came from Central Asia originally.
Peter Fischer gives some W explanation on the W website.
Additionally many Eastern European Ashkenazi are W's. W is as common in the Ashkenazi as it is in the general Eastern European population.However there are distinct W lineages in the Ashkenazi, indicating specific Jewish founding mothers. Unfortunately not many of them have FGS tested so I don't have a good grasp on which W branches these founding mothers are.One tested Jewish W lineage is W3a with C12923T in the Coding Region. All W3a also have T199C. However this isn't restricted to W3a. The HVR1 motif is vanilla. HVR2 is interesting as it has missing A189G.Wells and Behar have found numerous N1 mtDNA sequences in the Askenazi, however this entirely different and unrelated to W's in the Ashkenazi.Also don't take my word on it:http://www.thecid.com/w/natlgeo.htm
The most interesting line in the above article to me was this one: This is interpreted to mean that half of the Ashkenazi are descended from a very small group of women from the Near East of four mtdna haplotypes who migrated to central Europe about 2,000 years ago.
