Olkiesz, Kielce, Poland (Goldfus)
I found an Abraham Bendyl Goldfus born in 1803 in Olkiesz, Kielce, Poland. he was listed on Jewishgen.org. Goldfus is the Yiddish spelling which is anglicized to Goldfoot. My grandmother's middle child of 5 was Abraham. He died as an infant. This is the first I have found of a Goldfoot from Poland. The fact is that we do not know for sure where our Nathan Goldfoot was born other than the Russian Federation which could have been many places. Nathan married Hattie Jermulowske who was born in Poland, but he married her when they met in Council, Idaho. However, the Yiddish may have been very similar.
