Goldfoot Genealogy

 Nadene Goldfoot                                                         

My family had moved to SE Portland of Ladds Addition that consisted of a mixed population of 3 Jewish families of Padrow and Robinson and Bricker and us; Swedish, several Chinese, Irish, and Italians and others.  Our school potlucks were a marvelous feast of around the world foods.  When I was born, my father worked in South Portland where he was born, in the kosher butcher shop on Lincoln Street. 

Later on, he had his own business of Lincoln Wholesale Meats, and after that he had grown into Silver Falls Meat Packing Co. I don't think anyone cared that he was like the Jewish Cowboy with jeans down to his hips way back then, and even wore cowboy boots. He was a great cattle-buyer and truck driver.  Being Jewish was not an issue that I ever heard about.     

     Middle aged in Ontario, Oregon dressed for Rosh Hashanah, and my mother and I were the only Jews in this town.  Oh yes, we did find one lady who had married an Italian fellow, and she became my mom's best friend.  This was a town that was important to my father's business.  He had a feed lot here for his cattle.  

 I taught 4th grade.  

  1980 Mom gave us a party before we left; making aliyah to Israel.

The problem of anti-Semitism and my life synchronize.  From 1933 on, life in Germany for the Jewish people had changed dramatically.  It was the start of a government sponsoring anti-Semitism as Hitler was coming into power.  I was born in 1934 and fortunately for me, in the United States. So here I am in January 2023 and still am alive!

I still am witnessing anti-Semitism in the world, and it's been 89 years since it started in 1933, that is governmental sponsored anti-Semitism.  

In their 25-point party program published in 1920, Nazi Party members publicly declared their intention to segregate Jews from “Aryan” society and to abrogate their political, legal, and civil rights.

Nazi leaders began to make good on their pledge to persecute German Jews soon after their assumption of power. During the first six years of Hitler's dictatorship, from 1933 until the outbreak of war in 1939, Jews felt the effects of more than 400 decrees and regulations that restricted all aspects of their public and private lives. Many of these were national laws that had been issued by the German administration and affected all Jews. But state, regional, and municipal officials, acting on their own initiatives, also issued many exclusionary decrees in their own communities. Thus, hundreds of individuals in all levels of government throughout the country were involved in the persecution of Jews as they conceived, discussed, drafted, adopted, enforced, and supported anti-Jewish legislation. No corner of Germany was left untouched.

Then Nazi Germany entered Poland on September 1, 1939 and their hatred  and jealousy of and for Jews spread throughout the world.  WWII had started.

To justify the action, Nazi propagandists accused Poland of persecuting ethnic Germans living in Poland. They also falsely claimed that Poland was planning, with its allies Great Britain and France, to encircle and dismember Germany.

According to their logic, they, who were persecuting Jews living in Germany, should have had the world to invade Germany to free the Jews.  Ha!  No one came to the Jews' aid, not even the United States.  They were dealing with their own anti-Semitism at that time.  No Jews allowed into many athletic clubs;  the telephone company of NY not hiring Jewish women,  These are things that happened to my friends.

In the first half of the 20th century, Jews were discriminated against in employment, access to residential and resort areas, membership in clubs and organizations, and in tightened quotas on Jewish enrollment and teaching positions in colleges and universities. Restaurants, hotels and other establishments that barred Jews from entry were called "restricted".  As to stores, they started their own.  That's how Meir & Franks

 developed.                         

friend, Sam Arnstein, on left, at one of our formal dances.  

My Jewish peers and I were not asked to join any sororities or 

fraternities in   high school or college so we had our own.  Actually, we had a great time and 

had formal dances at wonderful places.  I remember sitting in 

the cafeteria of 

high school and the other students were talking about those 

terrible Jews.  I  mentioned that I was Jewish, and were they

 ever surprised! 

 That was it; I embarrassed them.  It felt good.  

Jews encountered resistance when they tried to move into white-collar and professional positions. Banking, insurance, public utilities, medical schools, hospitals, large law firms and faculty positions, restricted the entrance of Jews. This era of "polite" Judeophobia through social discrimination, underwent an ideological escalation in the 1930s.  Many Jewish students were turned away from Medical school as they had quotas, and we had so many bright and eager Jews that missed out becoming doctors, something my father would have loved to be able to do, but he was one of the poor Jews.  He went on to be the designer and owner of his own meat packing company, and he knew a lot, so much, about anatomy.  

My family and I living on the West Coast weren't harmed, but throughout the world, other Jews were losing their lives.  

Portland had 8,000 Jews in the 1920s.  Today, Portland is home to more than 40,000 Jewish residents, and Jewish history in Oregon goes back to 1849.   Many Jewish residents helped shape Portland’s future, such as Bernard Goldsmith, the mayor of Portland from 1869-1871, who built the Willamette Falls Locks in Oregon City; Aaron and Jeanette Meier and Emil Frank, of the Meier & Frank department stores; “Soda Pop King” Louis Albert; and Sam Schnitzer of Schnitzer Steel, to name just a few.

Generally speaking, with regard to both classes mentioned above, it may here be noted that the proportion of Jewish residents is greater than the mean in the East, and less than the average in the West. The tables given below are peculiarly instructive as exhibiting how the percentage of Jewish residents tends to become gradually lower as the total number of citizens decreases.

Children of Eastern European and Sephardic immigrants who came of age in the 1920s and 1930s remember the neighborhood as insular and nurturing. It was a time of increased antisemitism locally and nationally, and the neighborhood of South Portland and its institutions provided a respite. Beginning in the 1920s and 1930s, and accelerating in the 1940s and 1950s, families moved to more prosperous areas of the city. Still, South Portland remained a Jewish institutional hub, with ethnic shops, the Portland Hebrew School, the Jewish Home for the Aged, Neighborhood House, the B’nai B’rith Building (later the Jewish Community Center), and all but two of the city’s congregations.

Anti-Semitism makes fun of to the point of cruelty of being Jewish.  It states that Jews are stupid when our IQs say otherwise.                             

Many of our Jews could be classified as "star" people, and we are the Star of David people,  a group talked about of immense talent in many fields on the internet today.  The author implies that they may have come from the stars.  Well, our people did come as aliens from other countries but not from the stars.  For us it was good genes; good families that believed in education.  Native Americans, Chinese, etc all have found star people among themselves.

                    Grandfather, Nathan Abraham Goldfus/foot

             Charles (1906) and Moses (1908) (Morris) Goldfoot

            father, Morris Goldfoot with daughter, me, 1936

           

David, mother, Mildred Goldfoot nee Robinson finally born in 1942

         

David must be a Q3-L275 or (Q3a1) or (Q1b-L275) in his test showing QBZ67; evidently it's all the same.  After the Big Y Test showing something like 111 alleles, he was labeled as QBZ67.  This new label shows the divide of how geneticists see the Q line of Jews as well, evidently.   Before the Big Y test his label was Q Y2200.

This new report is from :   "Phylogeography of human Y-chromosome haplogroup Q3-L275 from an academic/citizen science collaboration" by Rebekah Adele Canada.

The Y-chromosome haplogroup Q has three major branches: Q1, Q2, and Q3. 

Q1 is found in both Asia and the Americas where it accounts for about 90% of indigenous Native American Y-chromosomes; 

Q2 is found in North and Central Asia; but little is known about the third branch, 

Q3, also named Q1b-L275. Here, we combined the efforts of .population geneticists and genetic genealogists to use the potential of full Y-chromosome sequencing for reconstructing haplogroup Q3 phylogeography and suggest possible linkages to events in population history. 

"We analyzed 47 fully sequenced Y-chromosomes and reconstructed the haplogroup Q3 phylogenetic tree in detail. Haplogroup Q3-L275, derived from the oldest known split within Eurasian/American haplogroup Q, most likely occurred in West or Central Asia in the Upper Paleolithic period. During the Mesolithic and Neolithic epochs, Q3 remained a minor component of the West Asian Y-chromosome pool and gave rise to five branches (Q3a to Q3e), which spread "  or 

".occurred in West or Central Asia in the Upper Paleolithic period. During the Mesolithic and Neolithic epochs, Q3 remained a minor component of the West Asian Y-chromosome pool and gave rise to five branches (Q3a to Q3e), which spread across West, Central and parts of South Asia.

 Around 3–4 millennia ago (Bronze Age), the Q3a branch underwent a rapid expansion, splitting into seven branches, some of which entered Europe. 

One of these branches, Q3a1, was acquired by a population ancestral to Ashkenazi Jews and grew within this population during the 1st millennium AD, reaching up to 5% in present day Ashkenazi. 

This study dataset was generated by a massive Y-chromosome genotyping effort in the genetic genealogy community, and phylogeographic patterns were revealed by a collaboration of population geneticists and genetic genealogists. This positive experience of collaboration between academic and citizen science provides a model for further joint projects. Merging data and skills of academic and citizen science promises to combine, respectively, quality and quantity, generalization and specialization, and achieve a well-balanced and careful interpretation of the paternal-side history of human populations. 

Distribution of Q3-L275 To evaluate the Q3 distribution, we analyzed both academic data from indigenous populations and data from genealogical projects. The frequency distribution map based on academic data (Fig. 2a) reveals that haplogroup Q3-L275 is confined to West Asia and neighboring parts of Central and South Asia – mainly Pakistan, West India, and up to 7% in Iran (see also Table 1). The map based on genealogical project data (Fig. 2b) also reveals the presence of haplogroup Q3-L275 in West Asia and neighboring areas, with a maximum frequency in Pakistan, but also throughout Europe. When data on Ashkenazi Jew genealogical projects are included (see Methods for details), the Q3 frequencies in Europe become almost as high as in West Asia (Additional file 1: Figure S1).

David's grandfather, Nathan Abrahm Goldfus, was from Telsiai, Lithuania.  Lithuanian Jews are mostly of :Recent genetic studies, based on Y chromosome polymorphic markers, showed that Ashkenazi Jews are more closely related to other Jewish and Middle Eastern groups than to their host populations in Europe. 

However, Ashkenazim have an elevated frequency of R-M17, the dominant Y chromosome haplogroup in Eastern Europeans, suggesting possible gene flow. In the present study of 495 Y chromosomes of Ashkenazim, 57 (11.5%) were found to belong to R-M17. 

Detailed analyses of haplotype structure, diversity and geographic distribution suggest a founder effect for this haplogroup, introduced at an early stage into the evolving Ashkenazi community in Europe. R-M17 chromosomes in Ashkenazim may represent vestiges of the mysterious Khazars.  Or, this could show it is from old references.  

Ashkenazi Jews, who have resided in various European countries during the Diaspora, traditionally trace their origin to the Jewish people that lived in the Holy Land before the Roman exile. 

However, some studies claimed that a substantial part of Ashkenazim were descendants of Eastern European non-Jews. In particular, according to Middle Age historians, the Khazars from a small kingdom near the Caspian Sea converted en masse to Judaism and therefore might have contributed to the composition of the emerging Ashkenazi community. 

Yet, recent genetic studies, based on Y chromosome polymorphic markers, clearly showed that Ashkenazim are more closely related to other Jewish and Middle Eastern groups than to their host populations in Europe Those findings argue against large-scale male-mediated gene flow into the Ashkenazi community during the Diaspora. 

The male admixture proportion of Europeans in Ashkenazi Jews was estimated to be 0.5% per generation, indicating that Ashkenazim remained, to a large extent, genetically isolated throughout their history.

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterized by markedly elevated plasma concentrations of LDL cholesterol, typically above the 95^th percentile for age and sex, caused by mutations in the gene encoding for the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR).

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) receptor. Here we characterize an LDL-receptor founder mutation that is associated with a distinct LDL-receptor haplotype and is responsible for FH in 35% of 71 Jewish-Ashkenazi FH families in Israel. Sixty four percent (16/25) of the Ashkenazi patients who carry this mutant allele were of Lithuanian origin. The mutation was not found in 47 non-Ashkenazi FH families. This mutation was prevalent (8/10 FH cases) in the Jewish community in South Africa, which originated mainly from Lithuania. The mutation, a 3-bp in-frame deletion that would result in the elimination of Gly197, has been previously designated FH-Piscataway. PCR amplification of a DNA fragment that includes the mutation in heterozygous individuals results in the formation of a heteroduplex that can be demonstrated by PAGE and used for molecular diagnosis.

People with FH have increased blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, sometimes called “bad cholesterol.” Having too much LDL cholesterol in your blood increases your risk for developing coronary artery disease or having a heart attack.

Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel once again, is connected to our family through his mother., Tzila Netanyahu nee Segal.  

Hi father was  Benzion Mileikowsky; March 25, 1910 – April 30, 2012) was an Israeli encyclopedist, historian, and medievalist. He served as Professor of History at Cornell University. A scholar of Judaic history, he was also an activist in the Revisionist Zionism movement, who lobbied in the United States to support the creation of the Jewish state. His field of expertise was the history of the Jews in Spain. He was an editor of the Hebrew Encyclopedia and Ze'ev Jabotinsky's personal secretary.

Netanyahu was the father of current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Yonatan Netanyahu, ex-commander of Sayeret Matkal, and Iddo Netanyahu, a physician, author and playwright.

Benjamin Netanyahu's mother:  

Tzila Netanyahu (born Segal), 1913 - 2000

Tzila Netanyahu (born Segal) was born in 1913, in Petah Tikva in the Ottoman Empire's Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem,  to Binyamin Segal and Chana Segal (born Marcus) .

Binyamin was born in 1866.

Chana was born in 1870, in Lazdijai, Lazdijai, Alytus, Lithuania.

Tzila had one sister: Sypora Florence Ronn(Rotenfeld) (born Segal) .

Tzila married Benzion Netanyahu (Mileikowsky) in 1944, at age 31 in marriage place .

Benjamin Netanyahu's father:

Benzion was born on March 25 1910, in Warszawa, Mazowieckie, Polska.

His occupation was Jewish Historian, Professor of History and Zionist activist.

They had 2 children: Yonatan Netanyahu and one other child.

Tzila passed away on month day 2000, at age 87 in death place .

She was buried in burial place .

              Zlata Jermulowski possibly at age 17 in 1903 in USA.                 A record shows she immigrated on May 6, 1903.  

Our grandmother, Zlata Goldfoot nee Jermulowske, was also born in Lazdijai, Alytus, Lithuania or Lazdijai, Suwalki, Lithuania.  It's a town on the border between Poland and Lithuania, but in Lithuania.  She was born on January 11, 1886, so was at least born a generation before Tzila Segal but in the same town. 

From my other article:

Here is my tree on Segal: Notice that Leo Max Segal had married Jeanette Edythe Scheine Goldfus.  That's our Lithuanian family line.   

 It's a connection to our Goldfoot line, not to the Jermulowski line of Benjamin Netanyahu's mother, a Segal.  Jermulowski is my father, Maurice Goldfoot's mother, Zlata Jermulowski's line.  So we may have 2 different avenues of connection to the Benjamin Netanyahu.  

Jeanette Edythe Scheine Goldfus's  father was Herman Harry "Yisrael Hirsch Goldfus and his father was Yehudah Leib ben Chaim Goldfus, and his father was Chaim Khaim Goldfus b: about 1801 from Laukuva, Telsiai, Kaunas, Lithuania, and his father was one of my direct relatives, Iankel Yankel ben Abram Goldfus born Bet. 1768 - 1774 in Telsiai, Kaunas, Lithuania.

........... 4   PM Benjamin Netanyahu, 21 October, 1949, Tel Aviv, Israel

Benjamin Netanyahu was born in 1949 in Tel Aviv and was a middle child.   His mother, Tzila Segal (1912–2000), was born in Petah Tikva in the Ottoman Empire's Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem

Now, the only way to be sure is to have DNA tests from both sides.  I don't know if Benjamin Netanyahu has taken a DNA test like familyfinder that we took from Family Tree DNA (FTDNA).  

My brother, David has taken the DNA test.  Upon checking his matches to Segal, the first page of 25 were all Segal matches.  I didn't check further.  That's a lot.  

Out of this group of 25, 7 were from my father's side with an icon.  Out of these 7, there were several triangulations.  3 were on chromosome 5 and 2 on #12 and 2 on #16.  People involved were Aron, Alan, Steven, Harriet, Anny and Jordan.

I also had all 25 of the first page of matches as Segal, with one triangulation.  , 2 women were on X (the 23rd chromosome) and the segment ending was close:        Sura with  12,762,665                       22,356,343;  and 

 Har. with  17,279,411                       22,304,343;  

He said, "My brother, Ido, is a writer and doctor,” Netanyahu 

explained. “He was approached by people who build family trees 

using DNA.”

“Their thesis was that the Jews of Lithuania, and us, came from a 

Lithuanian family descended from the Vilna Gaon, which has a 

Sephardic Jewish foundation,” he continued, referring to the 18th 

century Rabbi Eliyahu ben Shlomo Zalman, a landmark figure in 

Ashkenazi Jewish history.

"Indeed, Ido Netanyahu had his saliva tested, and the test revealed that part of Netanyahu's family are of Sephardic ancestry.  "Of course they belatedly informed me of this, as chairman of the Likud party for 30 years, but it shows that all Jews are intertwined and I think that's one of the great lessons one learns when visiting this institution. One sees the family that is Israel," Netanyahu concluded. "

  This is from an Italian number I learned.  

If it was FTDNA that Ido used, and used "Netanyahu", he didn't share genes with me.  I have been told I share some Sephardic genes, though.  It made an impression to me because I had taken Spanish Dancing with the castanets and heels for several years; my favorite kind.  

 

It looks like his brother Ido, which is just as helpful, has taken a DNA test !

I have no linkage to the Vilna Gaon that I know of, but it's possible being he was from Lithuania.  We are linked to many other well known rabbis.
