Our Jermulowske Family With Founder Zlata, Daughter of Joshua Charles (Hatzkel) Isaiahel Jermulowski
Nadene Goldfoot
Donald Eichman
Addie Zlata "Hattie"Jermulowske was born on January 11, 1886 on a Monday and died on a Saturday at the age of 64 years, 10 months and 28 days. Lazdijai is 54" 14'N, 23" 31'E in Lithuania. Also spelled as Lozdzieje and it is in Suwalki. It is 4.3 miles from Poland's border. For several centuries the territories of Suwalki, Lomza, and Trakai were part of a unified political unit in Greater Lithuania. After that, Suwalki and Lomza were together in the Duchy of Poland while a smaller Trakai was part of Lithuania. Suwalki is the Gubernia. Since WWI, Northern part is in Lithuania, southern part in Poland. Lazdijai was partially in Poland, a major town.
Cousin Don has lots of memories about his Bubbie. He was very close to her.
"My grandmother and me. It is my pleasure to share my memories of my Bobee.
It is impossible for me to separate myself from her. My parents divorced when I was eleven and a half months old. She saw me before I saw her. It was early winter in 1938 when my mother, Elsie, brought me to live with her sister, Haummi(Ann) and her mother Zlata. The four of us lived in a small house directly behind the Neighborhood House, built by the Jewish Relief Society for the Jewish immigrants fleeing from Eastern Europe."
Nathan Abraham Goldfoot married Zlata "Hattie" Jermulowske on November 20, 1905 in
Council, Washington, Idaho. She was born on January 11, 1886 in Lazdijai, Suwalki, Lithuania. At about 4'6" and 107 lbs, she was such a tiny Bubba or Bobbie, as I called her. I'd measure myself with her every time we visited.
(from records doing my genealogy searches)
She was called Zlata or Zlatie by her sister, Jenny. Hattie must have been the anglicized name. She was listed as Addie on the 1910 census and on her wedding in Council, Idaho in 1905. We grandchildren called her "Bobby" for Bobba, the Yiddish word for Grandmother.
Aunt Alice, coming from cousin Sandra, said they were from Lazdijai and our grandmother said Suwalki and both were right. Lazdijai, spelled Lozdzieje in their day, is in Suwalki Province and the Seinai district, spelled Sejny in their day. It is 25 miles ENE of the town of Suwalki and Lazdijai started in the year 1570.
According to the marriage certificate, both Addie and Nathan lived in Council, Idaho, a goldmining town in the mountains now a resort when they married on 20 Nov. 1905. Her brother in laws, brothers Sam and Harry Criss, were witnesses. Other witnesses were C.J. Urdrick and Jamy (possibly Jenny) Criss. D.J. Richardson was the JP that married them. Frank E. Smith was the County Recorder. She said she immigrated from Hamburg, Germany. on the vessel "Altverten" and said she was married. That means Nathan and she came together though they married in Council, Idaho. She arrived at New York City port in New York around 6th of May, 1903. (Think she didn't understand the question as she never learned to speak English.)
The name Zlata was a common name in Lithuania and the four NW provinces of the Russian Empire--Vilna, Kovno, Grodno and Minsk. The 3rd partition of Poland in 1795 added Vilna and Grodno Provinces to the Russian Empire, completing the formation of the so-called Pale of Settlement, the largest Jewish ghetto in the world, which existed for more than a century. Lithuanian Jews became Russian subjects.
Zlata (Bet Shmu'el) Variants: Slatka, Zlat' (V), Zlatka. The (V) means it came from Volhyn, present day Zhitomir, Rovno, Luts'k and Volyn regions. Her mother, Esther, died when she was young, and
her father remarried and had more children. They became very close to her.
She was from Suwalki, Lithuania/Poland. "The town's population continued to grow rapidly. In 1857 it had 11,273 inhabitants and in 1872 almost 20,000. Newly built factories needed workers and these were brought from all over the world. Because of that, the mixed Lithuania-Polish-Jewish population was soon joined by people of almost all denominations that worshiped in the Russian Empire. Located at "54 14'23 49'. A Goldfus woman, Sora Rywa Goldfus, lived in Suwalki and was married to Szimel Breszcz. In 1883 they had a son, Ick Jankiel Breszcz.
Zlate Jemulosky was written on the birth record of Moses, my father. Cousin Sandra Oster discovered it was Zlata. Due to her heavy accent, it was hard to understand her. Bobbie lived with Sandra's parents, daughter Anne and her husband, Werner Oster. She must have been on hand to help Anne with all 5 of her daughters.
Zlata had a brother named Louis (Louie) who also lived in South Portland where Zlata lived.
I received his death certificate and there was no mother mentioned by name. His birthdate was different from other information (11th Nov 1885) . Information was given by Gaulda (Mrs. Goldie Arthur Hahn; daughter. Even with the later date, he was still born before my grandmother, Hattie who was recorded as 1886. She said his father was Isaiah Jermulowske. That was not correct. Raymond feels that he is the full brother of Alice, Charles and Lily.
2/16/08 On ancestry.com they had him listed originally as Garmsetowske-changed to Jermulowske, on original is was Jermulowske. It's like Zlata's wedding records in Boise; they were so badly spelled that it's only through the witness who were the relatives that I could tell who got married, and then a few of the letters made sense.

My Bobbie did not speak English. She said she was a Litvak. She had no education in Lithuania/Poland/or Russia.She probably was a Litvak. The borders kept changing. The Litvak Jews lived in what is now Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, and parts of Poland. Your grandmother's family probably came from a town in either the Vilna province or the Suvalki "Suwalki" province. On 1920 census is says estimated birth year was 1879. Suwalki is a gubernia, and Bialystok is a Province there, latitude 54-06, and longitude 22-56.
She was left a widow with a new baby, my aunt Anne aka Hammie. Her Yiddish name was Zlottie(Zlata).
.
She came over here from Lithuania in 1899 according to the 1910 census. She was 4- 6 years younger than her husband. (Her sisters said they came from Poland.) However, she always said that she was a Litvak. Lazdijai was taken over by Poland. I found records I needed would be in Poland.
She lived in her little house after the children grew up. Later, she lived with Ann and Werner and helped take care of the children.
My grandmother Hattie"Zlotta" came over from "Russia"on May 6, 1903 along with her sisters Jenny and Bessie. She was 17. Bessie was 21 or 20. Jenny must have been about 11 years old. I have not found them in the Ellis Island Port yet. On the Declaration of Intention paper, she said she came here via Hamburg, Germany on the ship Altverten and landed in New York.
Her name was spelled Zlate Jemulosky on Dad's birth certificate. He was born at 277 Baker St, the residence his parents lived in. His name was Moses Goldfoot.
Bobbie (Hattie, Addie, Zlata) always said she was a Litvak. She never said she was Polish. That was on the census. It was said with pride as Lithuania was a special place, home of famous rabbis and a place of Jewish education.
On the Declaration of Intention of May 17, 1917, at age 31, she states she came from Zuwalta (Suwalki) , Russia to Hamburg, Germany on the vessel Altverten { possibly be Altai or Aultman} as that's the only ship I can find on Stephen Morse list and was married. Her grandson David, my brother, said it might have been the "Antwerpen". She came to New York on the 6th of May 1903. She had black hair and brown eyes and was dark complected. She was only 64 years old when she died. This was written by a clerk in the circuit court.
She was married in November 20, 1905 to Nathan Goldfoot in Council, Idaho, where her sisters Bessie was married to Sam Criss and Jennie was married to Harry Criss and Louis Jermulowske was single and living in Council in 1901 or 1902. He didn't marry until 1908 and that was in Portland, OR. She probably lived in Cuprum, Idaho with her sisters, a small mining town close to Council before she married. I've learned that she worked in Cuprum, probably washing dishes in their restaurant.
More from Kathleen on Zlata's brother, Max Jermaine: My Dad had mentioned once that my Grandfather Louis came to America separately and by way of England, so you've got that right. I believe he did come over later than his siblings, not because of choice but opportunity. I remember it being mentioned that he followed his family to Oregon sometime after they had arrived. The story I was told was that when he went through Ellis Island they asked him his name and he said Louis and asked for his last name and he repeated Louis, so for a while his info said Louis Louis until he got it corrected. I was also told that Louis was suppose to marry my Grandmother's sister but had fallen in love with the younger sister Dina (Dinah Rosenfeld) and so they married. He owned scrapyards in Boise and Weiser Idaho but when he first began his business they would call his line of work, Junkmen. Before he retired, my Dad (Max) took over the Weiser yard with Uncle Sam and eventually Sam left for San Francisco and my Dad was handling the remaining scrapyard in Weiser, Idaho early on in my folks marriage & while raising us .
I was told my Grandfolks spent a great deal apart while my Grandfather Louis was managing the businesses in Boise & Weiser, simultaneously while my Grandma raised the children in Portland. The info that was on my Grandfather's death certificate was probably offered by Max's sister, Gaulda Jermulowske Hahn as she was living in Portland at the time of their passing.
Charlie was a brother of Zlata's. Charlie was Maurice Goldfoot's favorite uncle. He was the youngest of the siblings, and Maurice didn't have a father, so Charlie was close to him. The Hebrew translation for Ezekiel is Yechezkel.
He died at about the age of 64 years. He and wife Anna Neimark's children were Jerome and Dorothy.
I found his WWI draft registration. He was single and living in the Weiser Hotel in Weiser, Idaho. He was listed as an alien. He came from Lastha, "Laszdai" Suwalki, Russia. He had had no military experience. He was short, slender, had dark brown eyes and black hair.. He was a hide buyer who worked for himself. I see that both Louis and Charles were hide buyers. The question still remains if they were full brothers or half brothers. I'm going by the WWI Draft/Reg paper that Louis filled out that by his birthdate he would have been from the 1st wife of their father. Charles would be from the 2nd wife.
He died at age 65 years 1 month 15 days. I just found his WWI draft paper with name spelled Charles Jermulososki /Jermedowake with the name of the town that he was born in. It was Lastha, Suwalki, Russia. This is probably the town all the siblings were born in.
I found an Ecke Jermalowsky b: 1893 arriving in New York on FINLAND from Lasde, Suwalki, Russia, but listed as a female arriving 23 August 1910 at age 17. Surely the information on sex would be correct. The port was Antwerp, Belgium and they left August 13, 1910. The age is close to Charles and his name would have been a Yiddish one.
There was no social security number listed for Charles.
Alice Jermulowske was married to Max Turnshinsky Turn. They had a furniture store in LaGrande.
I saw a black and white photo of Max'x grandfather and was able to borrow it as a model for my next oil painting venture. Here's my painting of Shal "Saul" Turnshinsky, a Talmud Scholar.
Alice and Max had two daughters, Sylvia and Annette. Sylvia married Abner Verbin in about 1942 and they had Joel and David Verbin. Annette married Dr.
Elliot Sagall and they moved to the east coast. They had 2 boys, Richard and Ronald.
Lilly Jermulowske, sister of Zlata, married Frank Weisberg, born in Russia. They moved to California and had 3 boys; Avraham, Charles, and Raymond. Raymond was a doctor and married Marilyn Kaplan. They had Dvora and Adam. Dvora became a rabbi.
The mt haplogroup of my grandmother (Bubbie or Bobbie) Zlata "Hattie" Jermulowske is W or W1h. Haplogroup W is believed to have originated around 23,900 years ago in Western Asia. It is descended from the haplogroup N2.

| Max Jermaine and wife Anita Barkan from daughter Kathleen: My mother and father, Max Jermaine, were both very musical in their younger days. My dad sang all the time and my mom always played piano and sang. She still likes to play piano on occasion. Another footnote is that Sam Jermane also had a pretty good voice. On my dad's 60th birthday, he and Sam sang some songs together. Louis was a brother of Zlata.
Louis's first child Ezra, died in 1908. Another died in 1910. Then he had Samuel (Zavel) in 1913, Goldie in 1916, and Max (Motle) in 1921.
| My dad died of the same things my Grandfather did. The difference was Dad was 66 years old and was also diabetic (inherited from Dina) so I'm sure that escalated the heart and organ issues. My Dad was very disciplined with his diet , the last 20 years of his life but the process had begun by the time he found out (in his 40's ) his Dr. told him he needed to change his health lifestyle or he wouldn't live very long. Unfortunately this was during the time when my folks had split up (my Dad was heartbroken) stress, eating (he loved sweets) and smoking(he quit immediately). Had he known in his 30's he may have lived a great deal longer. Who's to say . . . but my Dad would have given his last breath of air if he could for those he loved. |

I believe he did come over later than his siblings, not because of choice but opportunity. I remember it being mentioned that he followed his family to Oregon sometime after they had arrived. The story I was told was that when he went through Ellis Island they asked him his name and he said Louis and asked for his last name and he repeated Louis, so for a while his info said Louis Louis until he got it corrected. I was also told that Louis was suppose to marry my Grandmother's sister but had fallen in love with the younger sister Dina (Dinah Rosenfeld) and so they married. He owned scrapyards in Boise and Weiser Idaho but when he first began his business they would call his line of work, Junkmen. Before he retired, my Dad (Max) took over the Weiser yard with Uncle Sam and eventually Sam left for San Francisco and my Dad was handling the remaining scrapyard in Weiser, Idaho early on in my folks marriage & while raising us .
I was told my Grandfolks spent a great deal apart while my Grandfather Louis was managing the businesses in Boise & Weiser, simultaneously while my Grandma raised the children in Portland. The info that was on my Grandfather's death certificate was probably offered by Max's sister, Gaulda Jermulowske Hahn as she was living in Portland at the time of their passing.
Charlie was a brother of Zlata's. Charlie was Maurice Goldfoot's favorite uncle. He was the youngest of the siblings, and Maurice didn't have a father, so Charlie was close to him. The Hebrew translation for Ezekiel is Yechezkel.
He died at about the age of 64 years. He and wife Anna Neimark's children were Jerome and Dorothy.
I found his WWI draft registration. He was single and living in the Weiser Hotel in Weiser, Idaho. He was listed as an alien. He came from Lastha, "Laszdai" Suwalki, Russia. He had had no military experience. He was short, slender, had dark brown eyes and black hair.. He was a hide buyer who worked for himself. I see that both Louis and Charles were hide buyers. The question still remains if they were full brothers or half brothers. I'm going by the WWI Draft/Reg paper that Louis filled out that by his birthdate he would have been from the 1st wife of their father. Charles would be from the 2nd wife.
He died at age 65 years 1 month 15 days. I just found his WWI draft paper with name spelled Charles Jermulososki /Jermedowake with the name of the town that he was born in. It was Lastha, Suwalki, Russia. This is probably the town all the siblings were born in.
I found an Ecke Jermalowsky b: 1893 arriving in New York on FINLAND from Lasde, Suwalki, Russia, but listed as a female arriving 23 August 1910 at age 17. Surely the information on sex would be correct. The port was Antwerp, Belgium and they left August 13, 1910. The age is close to Charles and his name would have been a Yiddish one.
There was no social security number listed for Charles.

| Shal "Saul" Turnshinsky born about 1845 in Lodz, Poland, probably married to Rebecca (Rivka) |
Alice Jermulowske was married to Max Turnshinsky Turn. They had a furniture store in LaGrande.
I saw a black and white photo of Max'x grandfather and was able to borrow it as a model for my next oil painting venture. Here's my painting of Shal "Saul" Turnshinsky, a Talmud Scholar.
Alice and Max had two daughters, Sylvia and Annette. Sylvia married Abner Verbin in about 1942 and they had Joel and David Verbin. Annette married Dr.
Elliot Sagall and they moved to the east coast. They had 2 boys, Richard and Ronald.
Lilly Jermulowske, sister of Zlata, married Frank Weisberg, born in Russia. They moved to California and had 3 boys; Avraham, Charles, and Raymond. Raymond was a doctor and married Marilyn Kaplan. They had Dvora and Adam. Dvora became a rabbi.
The mt haplogroup of my grandmother (Bubbie or Bobbie) Zlata "Hattie" Jermulowske is W or W1h. Haplogroup W is believed to have originated around 23,900 years ago in Western Asia. It is descended from the haplogroup N2.
Haplogroup W is found in Europe, West Asia and South Asia. It is widely distributed at low frequencies, with a high concentration in Northern Pakistan. Haplogroup W is also found in the Maghreb among Algerians (1.08%-3.23%). Pashtuns live in Pakistan and they
were from Northern Israel and taken
were from Northern Israel and taken
as slaves by the Assyrians long ago. They were the ancient Israelites.
Additionally, the clade has been observed among ancient Egyptian mummies excavated at the Abusir el-Meleq archaeological site in Middle Egypt, which date from the Ptolemaic era. Granddaughter Sandra was the testee through FTDNA. Her greatest matches to people show the origin from the Russian Federation
that are Ashkenazi Jews.
that are Ashkenazi Jews.
All daughters of Zlata's mother, Esther, who may have died in Zlata's birth or afterwards, will
carry the same W haplogroup. That would be Bessie and Jennie and Zlata. I'd like to know if
Zlata's father's 2nd wife was the sister of Esther or not. That would mean that half sisters Lilly and Alice would have a different haplotype. The haplogroup goes from mother to daughter forever. Yet a man can test himself and find the Y haplogroup of his father and the mtDNA haplogroup of his mother. Men just can't send it on to his children like the mother does.
