I found a relative from our Goldfus tree of Telsiai, Lithuania;  Jeanette Edith Goldfus who had married Leo Segal in Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota.  Jeanette was born January 10, 1910 in
Laukuva, Telsiai uesd, Kovno Gubenia, Lithuania-Russian Empire.  She died October 10, 1993 in
St Paul, Ramsey, Minnesota at the age of 83 years 9 months and no days.    They had had 2 daughters;  Susan and Sandra .

She was the daughter of Herman Harry "Yisrael Hirsch Goldfus b: July 1860 in Laukuva, Telsiai uesd, Kovno Gubernia, Lithuania-Russian Empire, and wife Sarah. She had been a welfare worker for Family Welfare.  She immigrated with her family on March 21, 1912 to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania  when only 2 years old.

Herman Goldfus was the son of Yehudah Leib ben Chaim Goldfus b: 1836 in Laukuva.

Chaim was the son of Iankel Yankel ben Abram Goldfus b: Bet. 1768 - 1774 in Telsiai, Lithuania where our Goldfus/foots are from.

I have recently connected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's mother, a Segal, to our tree because of Jeanette Goldfus marrying our Leonard Segal.  This Segal is also in Netanyahu's tree !  Then I found another Segal who was a match to me among many, who also had a tree, and we were able to connect.
