Our Genealogy/History: Those Men We Lost and the Wars Going On When They Left Us

 Nadene Goldfoot                                              

I've been curious about the immediate history before and after our ancestors.  Here's some of the highlights I found. 

1. Descendants of Nathan "Nokhim Avram"Abraham" Goldfus Goldfoot

[1] Nathan "Nokhim Avram"Abraham" Goldfus Goldfoot b: 1869 in Russia, Telsai, Lithuania d: July 19, 1912 in Portland, Oregon Immigration: June 14, 1893 22, arrived :single: heading for Winnipeg, Canada, Nathan Goldfort age 22, arriving in Quebec on ship Parisian. Age at death: 43 est. Age at death: 43 est. Cause of death: An accident.  He had a horse and wagon.  The horse bolted, and he was killed. Age at first Marriage: 24 est. Burial: July 21, 1912 Shaarie Torah Cemetery, Portland, OR, Block W Section B Plot 2.  Before he was born:  

A sudden decision in 1864 for finally abolishing serfdom in Poland happened. The ensuing breakup of estates and destitution of many peasants convinced educated Poles to turn instead to the idea of "organic work", economic and cultural self-improvement.    This probably affected Lithuania as well. The Goldfus family go back in Lithuania to Iones (Jonah) of about 1730.  Before that It might have been Poland/Russia.  The family could have lived through this breakup of Polish estates and destitution and had then moved to Lithuania. In 1868–1869, hundreds of Lithuanian Jews crossed into Russia to seek help from Jewish communities in East Prussia after a hunger crisis. The crisis was a turning point for Jewish community leaders in Central and Western Europe, who realized that Jewish migration would become a major issue.  

Cause of death: An accident.  He had a horse and wagon.  The horse bolted, and he was killed.         

                    German soldier of 1912 in Balkans

War: July 1912:  Balkan Wars, (1912–13), two successive military conflicts that deprived the Ottoman Empire of all its remaining territory in Europe except part of Thrace and the city of Adrianople (Edirne). The second conflict erupted when the Balkan allies SerbiaGreece, and Bulgaria quarreled over the partitioning of their conquests. The result was a resumption of hostilities in 1913 between Bulgaria on the one hand and Serbia and Greece, which were joined by Romania, on the other.  Though there were wars going on, none affected Nathan from leaving Lithuania. 

However, shortly after Nathan's death, By late 1915 Lithuania had come under German military occupation. The goal of the German administration was to create a Lithuanian state that would be a satellite of Germany after the final peace treaty. It authorized a gathering in Vilnius, on Sept. 18–22, 1917, of a congress of 214 Lithuanian delegates. The gathering called for an independent Lithuanian state within ethnic frontiers with Vilnius as its capital, and it elected a 20-member Taryba, or council. On Feb. 16, 1918, the Taryba proclaimed an independent Lithuanian state.

DAVID GOLDFOOT

David Alan Goldfoot z”l passed away in Austin, Texas Oct. 8, 2023, at the age of 81. Born in Portland, Ore., on August 2, 1942, to Maurice and Mildred Goldfoot, David grew up with his older sister, Nadene, in a multicultural community. All who knew him described David as brilliant, kind, fun loving, creative, and a wonderful friend. At just ten years old he became the first Jewish child to be named Prime Minister of Portland’s Junior Rose Festival. In 2003, his lasting influence on his community was honored when he was knighted as Sir David Goldfoot of Rosaria. In 1964 he graduated from Reed College and married Heather Birnie, also from Portland. David later graduated from OHSU with a Ph.D. in Medical Psychology. He was a widely respected psychologist who specialized in working with individuals with anger problems and sexual addictions. David will be remembered by his loving wife, Lorraine Broll, sons Joel (Jill Jodar) and Josh (Matthew Berry), daughter, Michelle, sister, Nadene Goldfoot, and his beloved poodle, Roxy. He was a devoted father who taught his children to love learning and to treat all people equally. As a partner, he was beyond compare supportive, kind, patient, and thoughtful. There will be a celebration of David’s life later this fall in Austin. In lieu of flowers, contributions in David’s memory may be made to Cancer Research Institute (www. cancerresearch.org).

War of October 2024 :  Continuation and  growth of Israel/Hezbollah War in Lebanon


Don's family of Eichmans came from Chelm, Poland.  "The town was the capital of a historical region of the Land of Chelm, administratively a part of the Ruthenian Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province of the Polish Crown. The city prospered in the 15th and 16th centuries. It was then that The Golem of Chelm by Rabbi Elijah Ba'al Shem of Chelm became famous, but the city declined in the 17th century due to the wars which ravaged Poland. In the 18th century, the situation in eastern Poland stabilized and the town started to slowly recover from the damages suffered during the Swedish Deluge and the Khmelnytsky uprising. It attracted a number of new settlers from all parts of Poland, including people of Catholic, Orthodox, and Jewish faiths. In 1794, the Chelm Voivodeship was established. Chelm was one of the first towns to join the Kosciuszko's Uprising later that year. In the Battle of Chelm of 8 June 1794, the forces of Gen. Józef Zajaczek were defeated by the Russians under Valerian Zubov and Boris Lacy, the town was yet again sacked by the invading armies. The following year, as a result of the Third Partition of Poland, the town was annexed by Austria.  Lubin, Poland was also a city his Eichman ancestors lived in.  The Lublin Ghetto was a World War II ghetto created by Nazi Germany in the city of Lublin on the territory of General Government in occupied Poland.[1] The ghetto inmates were mostly Polish Jews, although a number of Roma were also brought in.[2] Set up in March 1941, the Lublin Ghetto was one of the first Nazi-era ghettos slated for liquidation during the most deadly phase of the Holocaust in occupied Poland.[3] Between mid-March and mid-April 1942 over 30,000 Jews were delivered to their deaths in cattle trucks at the Belzec extermination camp and additional 4,000 at Majdanek.[1][4]


I have to include this one. I just found it. It's another Albert Eichman but with 2ns.

Albert Eichmann, age 88, passed away peacefully surrounded by his wife and daughter on Sunday, April 21, 2024, at Froedtert Family Memorial Hospital in Manitowoc.  He was born on April 20, 1936, in Poland to the late Wilhelm and Emilie (Tober) Eichmann. In 1955, Albert and his brothers immigrated to the United States, settling

in Sheboygan with their aunt and uncle, Augusta and Edward Lungwitz. Albert

proudly served in the United States Army from 1960 until 1966. He was stationed in

Germany where he was reunited with his childhood friend and future wife, Ingrid

Semrau. (So similar to Donnie whose first name was Albert like his father.  )
