Up till now, I hadn't found any Goldfus (for Goldfoot) in any place except Lithuania.  Other researchers had steered me there, having found their Goldfoot (fus) ancestors in Telsiai.

Through the familyfinder program offered through FamilyTreeDNA in Texas, I have found 2 matches saying that they had ancestors in Courland, Latvia.  I finally checked it out at jewishgen.org and have found Goldfus!
