Jewish Genealogy Special Problems
Condensed by Nadene Goldfoot
Usually we figure 25 years for a generation when figuring dna matches. The marriage age of Jewish people was ususally much younger than other groups probably up to 1900. Jews in Eastern Europe married very young. Boys married between ages 15-18 and girls could marry from age 14-16.
In the Middle Ages gentiles that were landlords or others would harass Jews by carrying off their girls. Later early marriages were the parents' cures to keep the children studying as they wouldn't be thinking of sex if they were married. Sometimes marriages were arranged very early but did not live together until later.
First cousin marriages were common. In 1875 7.5% of all English Jewish marriages were among first cousins. Of course the bible cites marriages with 1st cousins. Uncles could marry nieces, especially where there was a lack of suitors. This was found to be true even more so with Sephardic Jews.
Jewish families had larger families than most "to be fruitful and multiply". They had a lower mortality rate than other groups because of good hygenic conditions due to keeping kosher and ritual bathing practices. They also had very rare illigitimate births and more medical assistance. Where they had problems in staying alive was in the persecution mortality rate.
Both Ashkenazis and Sephardis named after their ancestors. This began in the age of the Maccabees of the 2nd Century BCE. 800 years later they began to use biblical names. After the 12th Century from living in Christian lands children had two names; Hebrew and Christian.
By the 19th century family or surnames came into being. In some cases it was up to individuals like people in Spain, Portugal and Italy who had them from the 14th century on. Many used the names of towns they came from. Emperor Joseph II of Austria was the first to require that Jews take surnames in Galicia in 1785. They had to buy names by paying for the registration fee. Goldstein and Rosenthal were expensive (gems and flowers). By 1808 Napoleon required surnames for Jews. The Baden Law of January 13, 1809 forced Jews to change their name if of biblical origin. Levites had been using Levi but now had to choose new names-basically ones that were place names. In Russia the laws of 1804 and 1835 allowed Jews to alter their family names, but by 1844 Russian Jews were first made to enter their names in the public register and they had to assume family names. In Poland this happened in 1821 but was not really enforced until 1844, so our surnames might not be very old. We shouldn't be surprised, then when we can't follow our family any earlier on Jewishgen.org.

Joining Two Branches of Goldfoot
Denise just pointed out to me that her grandfather, Chaim/Hyman Goldfoot, was living at the Arbutus Place on the census in 1901. This is where our grandfather, Nathan was living at the time of this first marriage in 1893. Her grandfather was born in 1867 and our grandfather was born in 1871. However, her grandfather's name was Abraham, as far as I know and ours was this Morris/Chaim Itzhak. So they were first cousins once removed according to my calculations. (originally I had ignored the Arbutus Place address favoring the Wood Quay not knowing my granddfather had lived at Arbutus Place-Wood Quay)
This makes us (my generation) 3rd cousins once removed to Denise and Ian. I have taken the liberty to join our trees together now to an unknown Goldfus born about 1780 in Telsiai, Lithuania, being pretty sure without paper evidence in front of me that it is that city and country. We knew we had a common ancestor somewhere along the tree. This must be it. Being we also have a distance of 3 alleles out of 67 alleles in our dna test, I think this is pretty accurate. According to the tip report on familytreedna, and without changing the 1 in the box, we had a 67.49% chance of sharing a common ancestor at 8 generations, and figuring 25 years to a generation, I figure we are 9 generations apart, which would be a 75.48% chance of sharing a common ancestor I have named "unknown Goldfoot".
Finally. I hope this is it. Thank you to Mike Posnick who told me of the Nathan Goldfoot at the Londonderry Port in Ireland on the Parisian going to Winnipeg. We had no idea our grandfather had been in Ireland, though we had heard about England and a brother or brothers he was traveling with and then left to come to America. What a trip!!! It's very hard finding 3rd cousins, especially during the time of emigration and immigration that our people have gone through. This is so amazing!!

1901 Dublin, Ireland Goldfoots
My grandfather, Nathan Goldfoot, now known as Nathan Abraham Goldfoot, was found getting married in Dublin, Ireland on February 21, 1893, so I checked out the 1901 Dublin, Ireland census since he is not found in the United States until 1905 marrying my grandmother in Council, Idaho. The marriage certificate had his address in 1893 which was 13 Arbutus Place S.C.R (South Circular Road. His first wife was Lena Goldberg who lived at 38 Warren Street. She is not listed as a Goldfoot. Nathan was listed on the marriage license in Dublin as being a commercial traveler. Peddlers had to have a license.
On the 1901 census I found five Goldfoots living at that address of Arbutus Place. He was said to be traveling with a brother or brothers, so I wonder if one could be a brother. Nathan would have been 30 in 1901. He was not on the lists.
1. Abraham Goldfoot was just born in 1901in Dublin.
2. Hyman Goldfoot was 33, born in Russia and was a Pedlar and a traveller in drapery, could read and write and was the head of his family and was married.

Goldfoot Marriage Certificate from Ireland
My grandfather had spoken to my grandmother, Hattie (Zlotta) of his first marriage that was short and fruitless. We never knew who or where this marriage took place. A fellow relation, found on 23 &;Me, discovered my grandfather listed on familysearch getting married, so I very excitedly sent for the information to Ireland.
Here it is as it just arrived.
For the first time we find out that Nathan Goldfoot had a middle name: Abraham.
He lived at 13 Arbutus Place, S.C. R. (South Circular Road), and it looks like this happened in Dublin, Ireland.
He married in the Registrar's Office in Dublin on February 21, 1893 to Lena Goldberg who lived at 38 Warren Street.
Nathan was a com traveller (commercial traveler) You had to have a license to be a peddler. His father was Morris Goldfoot who was deceased. He had been a distiller.
Lena Goldberg's father was Naftolee Goldberg and was also deceased and had been a cap maker. The amazing part of all this is that my father, the 2nd boy, was named Moshe (or Morris in English). The 3rd boy was named Abraham.)
They married in the Registrar's Office in Dublin. A Leah Goldberg was a witness for Lena. B Leuy (maybe Levy?) was a witness for Nathan. The registrar was Thos W. Bowles. Both had to sign with an X as they must have been illiterate, at least in English. Interesting that instead of giving their age at the time of marriage, the license only said FULL.
Something happened to this marriage as the next time Nathan is seen is at the Londonderry Port in Dublin on the ship Parisian on August 14, 1893 heading for Quebec with a ticket that said he was to get off at Winnipeg. Now Winnipeg is just north of North Dakota, so how he ever worked his way over to Council, Idaho would had to have been by train, I would think by 1905.
On the LDS list I found a Lina Goldfoot on the Canada Passenger List of 1881 to 1922.. She was born in 1862 in Ireland. She's 9 years older than Nathan. She immigrated in January 1894 for Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and was 32 years old then. She was on the ship, Mongolian. Could this be the same Lina? Did Nathan go to Halifax, then? This is a distance of 2,174 miles or 1 day and 13 hours by driving. Nova Scotia is way over on the east coast.

Silale, Kaunas, Lithuania and a Goldfus
Jokubas Goldfus was born about 1878 to Leibas and Seine Goldfus. He died on March 5, 1938 at the age of about 60 just at the start of uprisings of the 2nd World War in Silale, Raseiniai, Kaunas, Lithuania.

Update on Nathan Goldfoot, grandfather
Another researcher has found Nathan Abraham Goldfoot b: 1871 in Ireland. The last I had found was that he had been at the Londonderry port in Ireland heading for Quebec, Canada on July 14, 1893 with a ticket to get off at Winnipeg. This port is at Lisahally near Derry, Ireland. It is a famous port where immigrants went to USA and Canada and is a deep sea port. He was only 22 years old. His birthday was either August 5 or 15th 1871. He was listed as age 22 on the ship's manifest . The ship was the Parisian, a huge steam and sail ship that looks an awful lot like the ship my Swedish grandmother came over on in 1888 only hers was the Orlando, which is now the icon on the Svenson Institute's website. . She also came through Canada. She told of being in steerage, so I imagine that Nathan was there as well on the Parisian. Immigrants were not rich people.
This new piece of information was a wedding registration found on familysearch. It included a middle name which has been unknown to the family. The online information only said that between January and March of 1893, he had married.
Let me interject that there were a lot of Goldfoots in Ireland, especially in Dublin. Stanley's family and relatives lived in Ireland. They had immigrated from Lithuania to England and from there found better ground in Ireland. Stanley and others had moved on to South Africa as well. It's possible that my grandfather, who's oral tradition has been that he had traveled with a brother or brothers to England, could have wound up in Ireland. This is two pieces of evidence, and the name: Nathan Goldfoot is extremely rare to non-existent.
Yesterday, on 3/3/11 I mailed in an application to Roscommon, Ireland to get the marriage certificate or registration paper, whatever they have. The online information was most scanty, just enough to tell me a little. This application also required my visa card information. Visa works even in Ireland. They're on Euro dollars. I just hope it will say more than birth was in "Russia." A town and country would be fantastic!
My most helpful researcher friend is a young man who matches some of my genome that I have found on 23&me. In trying to figure out how we have matched in a % of some of our genome, we started comparing names and places. They say there are no accidents, and that we believe in beshert. I certainly do now. He has been most helpful. I never would have thought to recheck Nathan on familysearch again. This is like going back to the same dig to find oil and suddently you get a strike. So in about two weeks I hope to have more to report.

Siebbi Goldfoot got married between July to September of 1892 in Dublin South, Ireland. I'm not sure if this is a man or a woman.
Moris Goldfoot married betwen October to December in 1896 in Dublin South, Ireland. This is interesting as my father born in 1908 in Portland, Oregon was born Moses, then the American name was Morris and then he changed it to Maurice when my mother suggested the spelling. to me this says that an ancestor was the same person for both of these branches as the custom has been to name after a eceased relative.
Nadia Goldfoot married between October to December 1920. There is an Annie Nadia Goldfoot born about 1891 in Russia who died in Capetown, South Africa. I have no record that she married at this date since she married Arthur Abrahams about 1907 in South Africa. I love the name. My nickname is Nada. Again, this is a name for a Nathan.
