A Goldfoot From India 1823
Georgiaen Maria Goldfoot was found in Colabah, Bombay, India. Her parents were James and Lucinda Susannah Goldfoot. She was baptised on April 2, 1923. This means that she is not a Jewish Goldfoot but probably one of the Goldfoots I have found on the East Coast of the USA that come from Germany or Austria.

Another Mildred Goldfoot Found: Born 1911
Harry Goldfoot was born in 1887 in New York. I found him on the 1930 census in Bronx, New York at age 43. He was married to Leah, also born in New York and was 42, so she was born in 1888. They had a daughter born in 1911 named Mildred Goldfoot and a son, Justin Goldfoot age 13, so he was born in 1917. Both were also born in New York.
The weird thing is that my mother married my father, Maurice Goldfoot, making her Mildred Goldfoot b: 1913. My grandson, son of my son, is named Dustin. That's pretty close to Justin. Odd things do happen.

Research of Vladimir Gurianov-Edelstein PhD on Origins-Goldfoot
The Goldfoots were thought to have come from Khazaria and the research in clustering around a slow palindromic marker called DdYF395S1 was an idea to look into from Rebekah A. Canada. Edelstein found that the most commonly represented by the number of genotypes is a cluster f Khazar (Kh) consisting of several subgroups.
Our is DYS 395S1a 15. DYS 395S1b 19.
The research lists is as follows: (Kh) Khazar
Kh3 - DYF395S1=25-19, DYS395=14-18.
I'm not sure of the difference between DYF and DYS but our ranges from 15 to 19 must be that we fit the Kh3 =15-19 cluster of Hazar that is comprised mostly of descendants of Ashkenazi Jews who came from Ukraine, Poland, Belarus and Baltic countries of Hungary, Austria and Germany. We are of the SNPs of L245 and belong to Q1b1.
Maybe our ancestors came from Khazaria after all!
