Goldfoot Genealogy

 Nadene Goldfoot                                      

This morning, I'm thinking about my family;  1st cousin, Don and how part of his youthful life was spent with our Bubbie, our grandmother Zlata Goldfoot nee Jermulowske/i.  Bubbie, or Hattie, a name on the census for her that I never heard in connection with her, was born in Lasdijai, Suwalki, Lithuania which was on the border with Poland. 

What am I remembering?  Measuring my height against hers.  She was so short.  Bubbie eating her favorite;  boiled potatoes with pickled herring.                        

 Also, my memory goes back to being at the house when all of us were there and being told that the Martians had landed and that my father was going to drive us to the mountains to escape them. That was radio news of the moment.  All of the family were in shock and awe.  It could be we were together for Yom Kippur .

She immigrated to the USA as a teen-ager, around age 17 and arrived in the USA in 1903-I believe.  Zlata was born on January 11, 1886 and died December 9, 1950 in Portland, Oregon. She was the daughter of Joshua Charles "Hatzkel" Isaiahel Jermulowskie and his first wife, if my genealogy searches are correct, Esther   "Essie" Decatsky Decad Frank.  Being I have found a DNA match to a very nice man with the surname of Decad makes me think that this is correct.  Joshua's Essie died and he married again and gave Zlata more siblings.  Now, of course, Decatsky is not coming up on FTDNA for my checking but I did find this:  the 1940 U.S. Census.

As it turned out, Zlata never went to school as she was illiterate.  She couldn't read or write in any language, and only spoke Yiddish.  Evidence is that she was home as the baby sitter taking care of her siblings.  All of them did become literate.  There was from Esther  (Essie) ;   Bessie, Jennie and Louis of the 1st marriage, and then there was from Deborah (Dora);  Lilly, Charles and Alice of the 2nd marriage.  I've also found an unknown;  Abram Owsej Ajzykowicz Jermulowski who I wonder since born in 1898, if he's a sibling, too.  He was born in Bialystock, Poland.  Maybe he's a cousin.  Also, the tradition in Judaism is that when a wife dies, she is replaced with her sister.  Were Esther and Deborah sisters?  I need DNA tests to tell.  Most likely not.                        

  Zlata's children include two PhDs with Don and his MS in the grandchildren with  most all being college graduates.  Don had gone on to be head of all the hospitals in Oregon except those in Multnomah County in their economic issues.  That was quite a responsibility.  He had to travel all over Oregon and check on their situations to keep them out of the red.

Don was the one who learned to really speak Yiddish with Bubbie.  He recalls favorite sayings with her to this day, part of the far distant memory that we all have.  We tend to remember the past but forget to take our pills in the morning.  If anyone heard Bubbie's favorite stories, it would have been Don, and he has told me a few.  He adores repeating the Yiddish he did learn from Bubbie.  It gives him his place in line with the Jewish people, if you can understand that.  Though his life didn't follow the Jewish culture as much, he did have that part of his childhood to remember.  

Bubbie, as it was, lived with her last child, Ann.  Ann was born several months after her father,  Nathan Goldfoot,  had died in a horse and wagon accident in SE Portland.  He had the horse and wagon, given to him by a Jewish group who helped the immigrants provide a living for their family.  As it happened, he was not used to handling horses.  His peddler experience was by foot.  So one time the horse was frightened by a noise, came to a halt and this threw Nathan Abraham Goldfoot out of his seat and he hit his head, was knocked out and never did wake up again.  All this occurred on a Friday.  Bubbie did not find out till a friend came the following Monday and told her he was dead and at St. Vincent's Hospital.  She went through  trauma herself, Shabbat and pregnant with 3 babies and a missing husband.  

Ann was born November 11, 1912 and her father had died July 19, 1912, 4 months before.  Can you imagine the state of mind that Bubbie was in?  She already had Charlie, Moshe (my father) and Essie-Elsie and had suffered earlier the death of her 3rd child, a boy-Abraham, who died in infancy at 5 months and 10 days in 1909, the year after my father's birth.  He evidently died of crib death though he slept with his parents in a feather-bed.  

Ann married possibly the last Jew to leave Germany, Werner Oster, who got out in May 1939.  Germany entered Poland in June 1939.  It was not an easy thing for his family to get him out, either.  He had already been picked up and kept in Aushwitz just before it became the Holocaust center of death.  He was picked up for hitting a cow with a stick on the path to the slaughter house of his father's.  It was a stick used to keep them on the path, a leading stick-not a stick used to hurt the animal.  The Germans used any reason to pick up Jews. After a horrendous experience of torture, he was able to return home then.  But his family had to figure that he would be the only one to survive.                                     

Ann had my 5 female cousins for Bubbie to care for as they appeared; Harriett, Darlene, Francis, Rose and Sandra.  They got to live with her and Don who was also there as a brother figure during several of the years.  His mother, Elsie, worked, and during those times, he was with Ann when not in school.

Werner was under great stress all the time as a butcher with my father in that he kept tabs on his family through a radio receiver that was against the law to use as I understand it.  Imagine trying to lead a normal life when your parents and then 16 year old sister's lives were threatened and eventually taken, of course.  Though Werner had been a great athlete in his teen years, it was so hard on him.  That would have also been transferred onto my aunt Hammie (Ann) as well.                                            

Life.  Even though we physically escaped the Holocaust, it left its mark on all of us Jews.  One wonders, wonders about what brought our Bubbie to America in the first place in 1903 and thankful, so thankful that it did.  I didn't even mention that she wound up in Council, Idaho, a little mountain town with some of her sibling members and new husband, Nathan. 

 She was even working washing dishes and such in a restaurant in Cuprum, Idaho.  Cuprum is an unincorporated community in Adams County in the U.S. state of Idaho. The community is located 27 mi (43 km) northwest of Council. Council is a beautiful spot.  Cuprum is Latin for “Copper,” an apt description as this remote part of Idaho likely still has huge untapped copper deposits. Several mines were in the area, leading to the need for a town. A hospital was built here in 1897, and a Post Office was established the same year on December 1st.  Cuprum is now a ghost town and hard to get to.   *Note* Two wheel drive accessible only in summer months. Kleinscmidt Grade is an historic road known for it’s steep grade.  From Ontario, Oregon head north on US-95 North for 44 miles. At the town of Cambridge Idaho, take a left on to ID-71.....How did she get there?  Probably by horse and buggy. 

She was married in November 20, 1905 in Boise, Idaho to Nathan Goldfoot of Council, Idaho, where her sisters Bessie was married to Sam Criss and Jennie was married to Harry Criss and Louis Jermulowske was single and living in Council in 1901 or 1902.  He didn't marry until 1908 and that was in Portland, OR.  She probably lived in Cuprum, Idaho with her sisters, a small mining town close to Council before she married Nathan.  You should see the certificate!  The spelling was so bad that unless you knew the facts, you couldn't translate it.  Sheltered Zlata, suddenly being thrust into cowboy-land or gold-mining land;   cleaning up from them.  

As a teacher, I laugh at the thought of my father and his brother Charlie diving under a bed to escape the broom attack of their mother in Portland.                    

Before Elsie was born, Charlie 4 and Moshe (Dad) 2, perhaps

Dad and Charlie were out  selling newspapers when dad was 4 and Charlie 6 to earn money for them all.  She was a teen-aged mom who was at the mercy of a 6, 4 and 1 year old and the broom was her only aid. The boys were even dismissed from Hebrew School for their antics.  Gosh, how did my father ever produce me,, the perfect school-child?  I don't know.  Must have been my mom's genes.

Addie Zlata "Hattie"Jermulowske was born  on January 11, 1886 on a Monday and died on a Saturday at the age of 64 years, 10 months and 28 days.  Lazdijai is 54" 14'N,  23"  31'E in Lithuania.  Also spelled as Lozdzieje and it is in Suwalki.    It is 4.3 miles from Poland's border.  For several centuries the territories of Suwalki, Lomza, and Trakai were part of a unified political unit in Greater Lithuania. After that, Suwalki and Lomza were together in the Duchy of Poland while a smaller Trakai was part of Lithuania.  Suwalki is the Gubernia.  Since WWI, Northern part is in Lithuania, southern part in Poland.  Lazdijai was partially in Poland, a major town.  

Cousin Don has lots of memories about his Bubbie.  He was very close to her.  
"My grandmother and me. It is my pleasure to share my memories of my Bobee.
It is impossible for me to separate myself from her. My parents divorced when I was eleven and a half months old. She saw me before I saw her. It was early winter in 1938 when my mother, Elsie, brought me to live with her sister, Haummi(Ann) and her mother Zlata. The four of us lived in a small house directly behind the Neighborhood House, built by the Jewish Relief Society for the Jewish immigrants fleeing from Eastern Europe."        

Nathan Abraham Goldfoot married Zlata "Hattie" Jermulowske on November 20, 1905 in
Council, Washington, Idaho.  She was born on January 11, 1886 in Lazdijai, Suwalki, Lithuania.  At about 4'6" and 107 lbs, she was such a tiny Bubba or Bobbie, as I called her. I'd measure myself with her every time we visited.
(from records doing my genealogy searches)

She was called Zlata or Zlatie by her sister, Jenny.  Hattie must have been the anglicized name. She was listed as Addie on the 1910 census and on her wedding in Council, Idaho in 1905. We grandchildren called her "Bobby" for Bobba, the Yiddish word for Grandmother. 
 Aunt Alice, coming from cousin Sandra, said they were from Lazdijai and our grandmother said Suwalki and both were right.  Lazdijai, spelled Lozdzieje in their day, is in Suwalki Province and the Seinai district, spelled Sejny in their day.  It is 25 miles ENE of the town of Suwalki and Lazdijai started in the year 1570.                                                                         

                                                                     

Anne, Bobbie and Harriet, Anne's firstborn I remember Bubbie's shoulder dislocating and she would be in terrible pain.

  According to the marriage certificate, both Addie and Nathan lived in Council, Idaho, a goldmining town in the mountains now a resort when they married on 20 Nov. 1905.  Her brother in laws, brothers Sam and Harry Criss,  were witnesses.  Other witnesses were C.J. Urdrick and Jamy (possibly Jenny) Criss.  D.J. Richardson was the JP that married them.  Frank E. Smith was the County Recorder.   She said she immigrated from Hamburg, Germany. on the vessel "Altverten" and said she was married.  That means Nathan and she came together though they married in Council, Idaho.  She arrived at New York City port in New York around 6th of May, 1903. (Think she didn't understand the question as she never learned to speak English.)

The name Zlata was a common name in Lithuania and the four NW provinces of the Russian Empire--Vilna, Kovno, Grodno and Minsk.  The 3rd partition of Poland in 1795 added Vilna and Grodno Provinces to the Russian Empire, completing the formation of the so-called Pale of Settlement, the largest Jewish ghetto in the world, which existed for more than a century.  Lithuanian Jews became Russian subjects.
Zlata (Bet Shmu'el) Variants: Slatka, Zlat' (V), Zlatka. The (V) means it came from  Volhyn, present day Zhitomir, Rovno, Luts'k and Volyn regions.  Her mother, Esther, died when she was young, and
her father remarried and had more children.  They became very close to her.

                                                                   

Bobbie with son Moses (Maurice) and me

         She was from Suwalki, Lithuania/Poland.  "The town's population continued to grow rapidly. In 1857 it had 11,273 inhabitants and in 1872 almost 20,000. Newly built factories needed workers and these were brought from all over the world. Because of that, the mixed Lithuania-Polish-Jewish population was soon joined by people of almost all denominations that worshiped in the Russian Empire. Located at "54 14'23 49'.  A Goldfus woman, Sora Rywa Goldfus,  lived in Suwalki and was married to Szimel Breszcz.  In 1883 they had a son, Ick Jankiel Breszcz.

Zlate Jemulosky was written on the birth record of Moses, my father.   Cousin Sandra Oster discovered it was Zlata.  Due to her heavy accent, it was hard to understand her.  Bobbie lived with Sandra's parents, daughter Anne and her husband, Werner Oster.  She must have been on hand to help Anne with all 5 of her daughters.

Zlata had a brother named Louis (Louie) who also lived in South Portland where Zlata lived.
 I received his death certificate and there was no mother mentioned by name.  His birthdate was different from other information (11th Nov 1885)  .  Information was given by Gaulda (Mrs. Goldie Arthur Hahn; daughter.  Even with the later date, he was still born before my grandmother, Hattie who was recorded as 1886.  She said his father was Isaiah Jermulowske.  That was not correct.  Raymond feels that he is the full brother of Alice, Charles and Lily.
2/16/08 On ancestry.com they had him listed originally as Garmsetowske-changed to Jermulowske, on original is was Jermulowske.  It's like Zlata's wedding records in Boise;  they were so badly spelled that it's only through the witness who were the relatives that I could tell who got married, and then a few of the letters made sense.  Descendants of Joshua Charles "Hatzkel" Isaiahel Jermulowskie

Max Jermaine and wife Anita Barkan from daughter Kathleen: My mother and father, Max Jermaine,  were both very musical in their younger days. My dad sang all the time and my mom always played piano and sang. She still likes to play piano on occasion. Another footnote is that Sam Jermane also had a pretty good voice. On my dad's 60th birthday, he and Sam sang some songs together.  Louis was a brother of Zlata.  Louis's first child Ezra, died in 1908.  Another died in 1910.  Then he had Samuel (Zavel) in 1913, Goldie in 1916, and Max (Motle) in 1921.		My dad died of the same things my Grandfather did.  The difference was Dad was 66 years old and was also diabetic (inherited from Dina) so I'm sure that escalated the heart and organ issues.  My Dad was very disciplined with his diet , the last 20 years of his life but the process had begun by the time he found out (in his 40's ) his Dr. told him he needed to change his health lifestyle or he wouldn't live very long.  Unfortunately this was during the time when my folks had split up (my Dad was heartbroken) stress, eating (he loved sweets) and smoking(he quit immediately). Had he known in his 30's he may have lived a great deal longer.  Who's to say . . . but my Dad would have given his last breath of air if he could for those he loved.

My Bobbie did not speak English.  She said she was a Litvak.   She had no education in Lithuania/Poland/or Russia.She probably was a Litvak.  The borders kept changing.  The Litvak Jews lived in what is now Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, and parts of Poland.  Your grandmother's family probably came from a town in either the Vilna province or the Suvalki "Suwalki"  province.  On 1920 census is says estimated birth year was 1879.  Suwalki is a gubernia, and Bialystok is a Province there, latitude 54-06, and longitude 22-56.
                                                                                                           

Max "Motle" Jermaine, son of Bobbie's brother, Louis, in WWII. He was born in 1921.

  She was left a widow with a new baby, my aunt Anne aka Hammie.  Her Yiddish name was Zlottie(Zlata).

                               

Great Aunt Jennie (Sheina) and me at an Oregon beach

.                                                   

Jenny Criss, Bobbie's sister and my mother, Mildred

 She came over here  from  Lithuania in 1899 according to the 1910 census.  She was 4- 6 years younger than her husband.  (Her sisters said they came from Poland.)   However, she always said that she was a Litvak. Lazdijai was taken over by Poland.  I found records I needed would be in Poland.
  She lived in her little house after the children grew up.  Later, she lived with Ann and Werner and helped take care of the children.

  My grandmother Hattie"Zlotta" came over from  "Russia"on May 6, 1903 along with her sisters Jenny and Bessie.  She was 17.  Bessie was  21 or 20.  Jenny must have been about 11 years old.  I have not found them in the Ellis Island Port yet.  On the Declaration of Intention paper, she said she came here via Hamburg, Germany on the ship Altverten and landed in New York.

Her name was spelled Zlate Jemulosky on Dad's birth certificate.  He was born at 277 Baker St, the residence his parents lived in.  His name was Moses Goldfoot.

Bobbie (Hattie, Addie, Zlata) always said she was a Litvak.  She never said she was Polish.  That was on the census.  It was said with pride as Lithuania was a special place, home of famous rabbis and a place of Jewish education.

On the Declaration of Intention of May 17, 1917, at age 31, she states she came from Zuwalta (Suwalki) , Russia to Hamburg, Germany on the vessel Altverten { possibly be Altai or Aultman} as that's the only ship I can find on Stephen Morse list and was married.  Her grandson David, my brother,  said it might have been  the "Antwerpen".   She came to New York on the 6th of May 1903.  She had black hair and brown eyes and was dark complected.  She was only 64 years old when she died. This was written by a clerk in the circuit court.

She was married in November 20, 1905 to Nathan Goldfoot in Council, Idaho, where her sisters Bessie was married to Sam Criss and Jennie was married to Harry Criss and Louis Jermulowske was single and living in Council in 1901 or 1902.  He didn't marry until 1908 and that was in Portland, OR.  She probably lived in Cuprum, Idaho with her sisters, a small mining town close to Council before she married.  I've learned that she worked in Cuprum, probably washing dishes in their restaurant.

More from Kathleen on Zlata's brother, Max Jermaine: My Dad had mentioned once that my Grandfather Louis came to America separately and by way of England, so you've got that right.  I believe he did come over later than his siblings, not because of choice but opportunity. I remember it being mentioned that he followed his family to Oregon sometime after they had arrived.  The story I was told was that when he went through Ellis Island they asked him his name and he said Louis and asked for his last name and he repeated Louis, so for a while his info said Louis Louis until he got it corrected.  I was also told that Louis was suppose to marry my Grandmother's sister but had fallen in love with the younger sister Dina (Dinah Rosenfeld) and so they married.  He owned scrapyards in Boise and Weiser Idaho but when he first began his business they would call his line of work,  Junkmen.  Before he retired, my Dad (Max)  took over the Weiser yard with Uncle Sam and eventually Sam left for San Francisco and my Dad was handling the remaining scrapyard in Weiser, Idaho early on in my folks marriage & while raising us .
I was told my Grandfolks spent a great deal apart while my Grandfather Louis was managing the businesses in Boise & Weiser, simultaneously while my Grandma raised the children in Portland.  The info that was on my Grandfather's death certificate was probably offered by Max's sister, Gaulda Jermulowske Hahn as she was living in Portland at the time of their passing.

Charlie was a brother of Zlata's.  Charlie was Maurice Goldfoot's favorite uncle.  He was the youngest of the siblings, and Maurice didn't have a father, so Charlie was close to him. The Hebrew translation for Ezekiel is Yechezkel.
  He died at about the age of 64 years. He and wife Anna Neimark's children were Jerome and Dorothy.
 I found his WWI draft registration.  He was single and living in the Weiser Hotel in Weiser, Idaho.  He was listed as an alien.  He came from Lastha, "Laszdai" Suwalki, Russia.  He had had no military experience.  He was short, slender, had dark brown eyes and black hair..  He was a hide buyer who worked for himself.  I see that both Louis and Charles were hide buyers.  The question still remains if they were full brothers or half brothers.  I'm going by the WWI Draft/Reg paper that Louis filled out that by his birthdate he would have been from the 1st wife of their father.  Charles would be from the 2nd wife.
 He died at age 65 years  1 month 15 days.  I just found his WWI draft paper with name spelled Charles Jermulososki /Jermedowake with the name of the town that he was born in.  It was Lastha, Suwalki, Russia.  This is probably the town all the siblings were born in.
  I found an Ecke Jermalowsky b: 1893 arriving in New York on FINLAND from Lasde, Suwalki, Russia, but listed as a female arriving 23 August 1910 at age 17.  Surely the information on sex would be correct.  The port was Antwerp, Belgium and they left August 13, 1910.  The age is close to Charles and his name would have been a Yiddish one.
There was no social security number listed for Charles.
                                                                 

Shal "Saul" Turnshinsky born about 1845 in Lodz, Poland, probably married to Rebecca (Rivka)

       
Alice Jermulowske was married to Max Turnshinsky Turn.  They had a furniture store in LaGrande.
I saw a black and white  photo of Max'x grandfather and was able to borrow it as a model for my next oil painting venture.  Here's my painting of Shal "Saul" Turnshinsky, a Talmud Scholar.  
Alice and Max had two daughters, Sylvia and Annette.  Sylvia married Abner Verbin in about 1942 and they had Joel and David Verbin.  Annette married Dr. 
Elliot Sagall and they moved to the east coast.  They had 2 boys, Richard and Ronald.  

Lilly Jermulowske, sister of Zlata, married Frank Weisberg, born in Russia. They moved to California and had 3 boys; Avraham, Charles, and Raymond.  Raymond was a doctor and married Marilyn Kaplan.  They had Dvora and Adam.  Dvora became a rabbi.   
                                                    

  The mt haplogroup of my grandmother (Bubbie or Bobbie) Zlata "Hattie" Jermulowske is W or W1h.  Haplogroup W is believed to have originated around 23,900 years ago in Western Asia. It is descended from the haplogroup N2.

Haplogroup W is found in Europe, West Asia and South Asia. It is widely distributed at low frequencies, with a high concentration in Northern Pakistan. Haplogroup W is also found in the Maghreb among Algerians (1.08%-3.23%). Pashtuns live in Pakistan and they
 were from Northern Israel and taken 

 as slaves by the Assyrians long ago.  They were the ancient Israelites.  

Additionally, the clade has been observed among ancient Egyptian mummies excavated at the Abusir el-Meleq archaeological site in Middle Egypt, which date from the Ptolemaic era.  Granddaughter Sandra was the testee through FTDNA.    Her greatest matches to people show the origin from the Russian Federation
that are Ashkenazi Jews.  

All daughters of Zlata's mother, Esther, who may have died in Zlata's birth or afterwards, will

carry the same W haplogroup.  That would be Bessie and Jennie and Zlata.  I'd like to know if

Zlata's father's 2nd wife was the sister of Esther or not.  That would mean that half sisters Lilly and Alice would have a different haplotype.  The haplogroup goes from mother to daughter forever. Yet a man can test himself and find the Y haplogroup of his father and the mtDNA haplogroup of his mother.  Men just can't send it on to his children like the mother does.
