Family Tree of ggrandfather and grandfather Goldfus from Lithuania?
Descendants of Chaim Itzak Goldfus Goldfoot-my great grandfather.
1 Chaim Itzak Goldfus Goldfoot b: Abt. 1850 in prob. Kovno or Telsiai, Lithuania/Poland/Russia
. +Devorah Unknown ? b: Abt. 1850 in Lithuania/Poland/Russia
... 2 Nathan Goldfus Goldfoot b: August 05, 1871 in Russia, probably (Poland/Telsiai, Lithuania)
....... +Unknown First b: Abt. 1872
... *2nd Wife of Nathan Goldfus Goldfoot:
....... +Addie Zlata "Hattie Ettie" Jermulowske b: January 11, 1886 in Lazdijai,Suwalki Zuwalta", Lithuania/Russia/Poland
Their children who have all passed away now were Charles, Moses (Morris-Maurice) Abraham-died in infancy, Elsie and Anne.
The oral history from my grandmother was that Nathan had been married before but that the marriage produced no children.
My grandfather, Nathan Goldfoot, died in 1912 in Portland in a horse and wagon accident. Nathan was thrown out of the wagon which had no writing on it. He was an expressman taking packages from the dock and delivering them in Portland. The accident happened in the SE Portland area. He hit his head and never regained consiousness and died in St. Vincent Hospital. Today, his great grandson is a nurse in the new St. Vincent Hospital in the CCU.
Because he died in 1912 and my father was born in 1908, we never learned about Nathan's family.

New Goldfoots Listed at Ancestry.com
June 13, 1914 on Ship: Baltic of White Star Line, Leaving New York. This was an American Steamship with 32 passengers.
1. Marie Goldfoot age 20, houswife was found traveling 3rd class. She was heading for Liverpool, England and Queenstown, Ireland. With her was:
2. Abram Goldfoot, son, age 2, born 1912.
3. Theo Goldfoot, son age 4 months.
I found R Goldfoot in the 1973 phone book in Belfast, Antrim, Ireland living at 231 Cavehill Rd 15. The phone number was Belfast 778812. How I wish they'd print given names. It was listed incorrectly as G. Goldfoot, but inside on the original page, I could see it was R.
I'm not sure about who the husband is, but it's possible it's an Itzak Goldfoot, brother of Simon Goldfoot living in South Africa. I could easily be wrong.
