Lithuania Records on Goldfoot, Merkine

I keyed in Goldfoot on the Lithuania records found in abundance on the Jewishgen website, knowing full well that this is the anglicized form of Goldfus/fuss. However, it just may be that Lithuania has its own way of spelling names.

Goldoft

In 1872 Nisan Goldoft of Merkine, Lithuania died.

Tsipi Goldovt died on June 23, 1892 in Kaunas. Her father was Bentseler who lived in Merkine. She was only 4 months old and died from a catarrh of the intestines.


On September 24, 1932, Evi Hirsetes Goldavtas/Goldavt was born. The father was Chezkeles born in the town of Semeliskes and the mother was Estera born in the town of Troke. The mother's maiden name was Groznikaite/Grozik. This is a 1932 record from Vilnius, Lithuania.


Chaim Goldovt was listed in Merkine Trakai, Kaunas in 1903. (My ggrandfather was Chaim Goldfoot).



There were marriages.

Bentsel Galdovt, son of Mardkhel and Merich (Merkine) 24 married Etela Oppengeim 18. in 1888 in Kaunas, Lithuania.


Benjaminas/Benyamin Goldovt/Goldovtas age 30, son of Meer/Mejenis Freide Balmanaiate (Balman) and Ruda Vishakio, a husband and merchant who was born in Merkine, married in Kaunas in 1930 to:

Jokhana Vinikaite 26, daughter of Shimshoras/Shimshon, daughter of Khana Rokka Zivaite/Ziv Betygala , a housekeeper.

Hey Nadene
I saw in your tree you have mentioned : Khana Rokka Zivaite/Ziv Betygala

in Batygola were only 16 Jewish families , and only one of them is Ziv family
it was my grandmothers family :)
If you wish to see the all tree of the Ziv (most of them are from Ariogala ) I can send you a link .
by the way one of the famous Ziv tribe was Marcus Ziv Sieff (Lord Sieff the owner of M&S )
