Maurice Goldfoot's Silver Falls Wholesale Meats' And His Father, Nathan's Trek to Portland, Oregon
Nadene Goldfoot
Meat Packing Co. on Columbia Blvd. Maurice's father was Nathan Goldfus/Goldfoot of Portland, b: 1869 in Telsiai, Lithuania and d: Portland, Oregon July 19, 1912 in a horse and wagon accident. He was
Nathan "Nokhim Avram"Abraham" Goldfus/Goldfoot. Maurice's only son was David Alan Goldfoot, PhD, psychologist, practicing in Wisconsin and Texas.

Several factors fostered the acceptance of Jews suggested by these political achievements. The timing and composition of Jewish migration was key. Jews first arrived in Oregon in 1849, just years after the first Overland immigrations brought resettlers to the region. The vast majority, like Goldsmith and Wasserman, were immigrants from German lands; but rather than coming directly to Oregon from Europe, most spent years elsewhere in the United States before following the Gold Rush west and establishing merchandising networks anchored in San Francisco and extending north to Oregon. Those who settled in Oregon brought with them knowledge of English, familiarity with frontier society, and connections to San Francisco-based trade networks that positioned them well to join with fellow pioneers and help create new communities.
In 1869, Bernard Goldsmith, an immigrant Jew from Bavaria, was sworn in as the mayor of Portland. Two years later, he was succeeded in office by his friend, countryman, and coreligionist, Philip Wasserman, a former state legislator who would later serve on the city’s school board. Jews comprised only about 0.5 percent of Oregon’s population in the late nineteenth century, yet Goldsmith's and Wasserman’s political achievements were hardly unusual. At least seven Jewish mayors served towns across the state, and others held statewide office, served in the legislature, and sat on city councils and school boards. Between 1877 and 1911, Joseph Simon, a German Jew, served on Portland’s city council, in the state senate, in the U.S. Senate, and as Portland’s mayor.
-There is no indication of any other name for Moshe in the Lithuanian records, though he surely had one. Chaim Yitzchak is totally different than Moshe. It seems unlikely to me that this could be the same person. It is possible that Nathan's widow mis-recalled the name of her father-in-law, whom she presumably did not meet (though she was also a Litvak, so perhaps the families knew each other), but this is unlikely. This discrepancy is really mysterious. I spent a little time researching a family with the name Goldoft/Goldovis from Merkine. There was a Nokhim, born around 1870, whose father was Itsko and there was an earlier Khaim, so this Itsko could have been Chaim Yitzchak. But the relationship would be too distant from the Dublin family for you to have confirmed a 3rd cousin relationship, so this situates your grandfather within the Dublin family.

Nathan is found on the www.findmypast.com list having left Liverpool, England, Londonderry (Irish port) bound for Quebec and Montreal in 1893 at the age of 22. If the age is correct, he was born in 1871 and not 1874 as I have thought.
Nathan was born at the worst period in Russian history. The 1880's was another dark period of rising anti-Semitism, expulsions from large cities and many other general restrictions. It was mandatory for Jews "to keep the same names that had been entered in the vital records." 1881 saw Alexander II assassinated causing antisemitism. Jews were traders and artisans since Middle Ages and were now restricted in Russia including much of Poland. in Pale of Jewish Settlement. Serfdom was in Russia until 1861. In 1891 22,000 Jews in chains led from Moscow and St. Petersburg to the Pale.
It was hard to leave Russia. They had to cross borders illegally into Austria/Hungary, then to Vienna or Berlin. In Hamberg, Bremen and Rotterdam, thousands tried to find passage to America, standing in long lines. Then they crowded into steerage for 2 to 4 weeks of seasickness and hundreds sharing a toilet. In 1904 20,000 people did not pass the inspection and were sent back to Europe. Between 1881 and 1910 1.5 million Jews emmigrated to USA. Of that 1 million were from Russia. Most Eastern European immigrants destined for Oregon stopped on the Lower East Side before traveling by train across the country to Portland. Others came more directly because relatives or families had already settled here.

Grandfather Nathan "Nahum" came over to the U.S.A in 1896 ? when he was 24 years old.(according to census information or death certificate. He died at age 40 years 11 months 4 days. That would be two years after being in Quebec.
He was born on August 5 or 15, 1871 according to www.findmypast or 1874 on a Saturday. It is possible he was born in Telsiai, Lithuania, commonly referred to as "Russia."
According to the Goldfoot family in South Africa, they came from the Ukraine in Russia. On the 1910 census he said he was born in 1872. When he died, his wife was not told about the accident as it was Shabbas. She learned about it later. He had money hidden, and she never learned where it was.
Lithuania lies in the eastern Europe, on the coast of the Baltic Sea. In the north Lithuania borders with Latvia, in the east and south with Byelorussia, in the south-west with Poland and with the Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation.
12/20/08 I found him in Quebec arriving in 1893 on ship Parisian. Reference RG76; microfilm C-4539. He contracted to get off at Winnipeg. He was number 29520 on the ship of 8 men and 2 women passengers. Parisian was the 1st large steamer of the Allen Line taking immigrants to Canada. It weighed 5,359 tons and sailed first on May 1881. It took 13 1/4 days from Liverpool, England to Canada and took 18 days from Glasgow, Scotland.
His name, Nathan, and Natan is a Jewish name from the ten Polish Provinces of Kalisz, Kielee, Lomza, Lublin, Pietrkow, Plock, Radom, Siedlce, Suwalki, and Warsaw. Poland was partitioned in 1772, 1792 and 1795. Then it was part of Russia. Nathan must be the anglicized name.
Naum\Nakhim\(Nahum 1:1) Variants: Nakhim (L), Nokhim (L,P,V), Nokhum (L), Nukkhem, Nukhim (P,V) Nukhimche(P). (L )means Lithuania, present-day Lithuania and northern Belarus. (P) means Poland, the 10 Polish provinces, and (V) Volhyn, present day Zhitomir, Rovno, Luts'k and Volyn regions.
Some earlier history causing the Pale of Settlement where Lithuania was :
On December 23, 1791, Empress Catherine of Russia
issued a decree restricting Jewish habitation to specific areas.
This decree applied to White Russia (Byelorussia), the
Ukraine and other areas taken in the partition. After the Third Partition, the decree was extended to include the newly
acquired territories along the Baltic Sea. Thus was born the
Pale of Settlement, the area where Jews were allowed to live;
an area that stretched from the Baltic to the Black Seas.
Of the areas then inhabited by Lithuanian Jewry, ethnic
Lithuania and Byelorussia became an integral part of Russia
and the southerm part, around Grodno and Suwalk, became
part of the Duchy of Warsaw (Poland). Although Lithuania
may have been divided, the Jewish Litvak community
remained integrated until World War I.
It has been estimated that, at the time of partition, 25 percent of all the Jews of easterm Europe were Litvak

Comparing Two Goldfoot Lines: Ian Goldfoot of South Africa and David and Nadene Goldfoot-American Siblings
Nadene Goldfoot
David is 8 years younger than Nadene
Update on DNA by David whose Y haplogroup is QBZ67 from Rebekah Adele Canada, researcher: 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 ac...
.jpg)
Ian's Y haplogroup has been tested at 67 alleles with Q-M378.
David's Y haplogroup has been Big Y tested with QBZ67. Previously it tested as Q-Y2200.
Genealogy shows that Ian, born November 4, 1934 in Kruderdorp, South Africa was the son of Solomon "Shlomo" Goldfoot b: August 1904 in Dublin, Ireland and Mary Alpert b: 1906 in Kilmarnark, Scotland. Solomon was the son of Hyman "Haim" Goldfus/Goldfoot b: 1867 in Telsiai, Lithuania and Bluma Kogan. Ian died 9 Feb 2022. Hyman was the son of Avraham Goldfus b: 1825 and Hinda. Avraham was the son of Yankel Goldfus b: 1768-1774 and Khana Unknown in Telsiai.
At one point, Nathan was also living in Dublin, Ireland and from the looks of the address, was next door or with his Goldfoot South African family recently from Telsiai, Lithuania family. Nathan had gone to England first, then went to Ireland. It was the path of many other Jewish Lithuanians.
David and Nadene are the children of Moses/Morris/Maurice Goldfoot b: 1908 of Portland, Oregon and Mildred Robinson born in 1934 and 1942. Maurice was the son of Nathan Abraham Goldfus/Goldfoot of Telsiai, Lithuania b:1881-1884. Nathan was the son of Movsha Goldfus b:1836 in Telsiai and Beila Unknown of Telsiai. Movsha was the son of Josel Goldfus b: 1798 and Rasha Unknown in Telsiai. Josel was the son of Yankel Goldfus b: 1768-1774 and Khana Unknown in Telsiai.
Josel and Movsha were brothers, sons of Yankel.
David took 5 generations to get to Yankel. (David, Maurice, Nathan, Movsha, Josel, Yankel.
Ian took 4 generations to get to Yankel. (Ian, Solomon, Hyman, Abraham, Yankel. )
My genealogy work was checked by another distant cousin, Gene Lepere, author her autobiography, of NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN. Gene was the daughter of art collector, Joseph Hirshhorn, and worked as a marketing consultant. She lived in Los Angeles. So we're connected to her family. My brother and cousin Sandra match Donald, one of the male Hirshhorns. Gene led an amazing life. I used Jewishgen for much of my work.

The amazing thing is that Ian moved to Texas and was living in Houston. David left the Northwest and also is living in Texas. Nadene finally took a trip and visited David and his wife, Lorraine and the three Goldfoots met at David's home for a Shabbat dinner. The time went by too fast for me. By the way, Ian had that very British/South African accent. I have spent many years teaching English to foreigners, but I had a hard time at times catching what Ian said. Lucky for me it was still English and not Lithuanian or Russian. Oh yes, on the other Goldfus/Goldfoot side, there is a Nadine Goldfoot in England who is a lawyer, helping foreigners with their problems. She's much younger than myself, and is my 3rd cousin once removed. My 1st cousin, daughter of my father's sister, is a PhD of technical English, headed the ESL dept. at our university in teaching English to foreigners. It must run in the family.

Early Wars Causing Lithuanian Jews to Flee to Ukraine
Nadene Goldfoot
In 1432 -1438 there was war in Lithuania. It was Lithuania and Poland against Russia.
From 1487-1494 a 2nd war was fought; the Lithuanian Muscovite War of Lithuania, the Golden Horde against Moscow.
From 1492-1537, the war raged on as the Muscovite-Lithuanian wars of Lithuania and Moscow. (1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue) and Jews had to leave Spain, start moving all over trying to find a home...
By 1495, Jews were living in Vilna, Grodno and Kovno totaling 10,000.
1508 was the Glinski Rebellion against Lithuania by Glinski supporters
1524 was the big Ottoman-Tartar invasion of Lithuania and Poland
1561to 1570 was the Northern 7 Years War of Lithuania/Poland against Sweden
They received a charter in 1529 guaranteeing freedom of movement and employment. Soon they were the leading workers in foreign trade and taxing and farming. However, from 1495-1502, the first 7 years of being in Lithuania, they were excluded FROM Lithuania. In 1566-1572, the Jewish badge was introduced for Jews to wear to distinguish themselves from citizens. Jews were disqualified in the court system for giving evidence.
1576 to 1582 was the Livonian War of everyone (Lithuania/Poland/Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Transylvania); being against Tsardom of Russia
1600-1629 was again the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Swedish War and 1605-1618 included war against Russia and 1606 -1608 the Zebrzydowski Rebellion of nobles against the king.
Organization took place. Jews were represented in the COUNCIL OF THE FOUR (then 5) LANDS, but that wasn't helping, so the Jews formed a separate COUNCIL OF LITHUANIA in 1623 when a separate tax-system was established.
By 1762, Catherine II permitted all aliens to live in Russia, except Jews. Partitions of Poland, resulting from wars, took place in 1772, 1793, and 1795, when the large group of White Russian Jews, Ukraine, Lithuania and Courland became Russian subjects. For more than a century, they were all under the reactionary rule of the Czars.
Lithuania became part of Russia in 1795 which lasted until WWI of 1918. It had become a major part of the Jewish culture so was most important. It was the home of distinguished yeshivote (Jewish schools) and leading rabbis such as the Gaon of Vilna. It became the seat of MUSAR movement, and a center of Haskalah.
During World War I, 100,000 Jews were expelled or actually emigrated to the Russian interior, leaving their shtetles. In independent Lithuania, Jews received national autonomy from 1918- 1924. A Jewish National Council was established under a Ministry for Jewish Affairs. They had the right to levy taxation under government auspices.
The Austro-Polish War or Polish-Austrian War was a part of the War of the Fifth Coalition in 14 April 1809 (a coalition of the Austrian Empire and the United Kingdom against Napoleon's French Empire and Bavaria). It ended October 14, 1809. It lasted 6 months.
Vilna, the largest city as well as capital, was lost to Poland in 1919, the result of WWI. This weakened the Jews of Vilna. After 1924, autonomy was restricted solely to religious matters, while the economic position of the Jews deteriorated in the oncoming years.
No Jews survived the expulsion of Jews of 1290 when Jews were also expulsed from England. A few former Marranos settled in Dublin after 1660 and more arrived as military purveyors after the 1689 revolution. Original Jews were displaced by Ashkenazim, but by 18th century, population declined and by 1816 there were only 3 Jewish families in Dublin and a few in other Irish towns. They were joined by others in 1822 and the population was 400 by 1880. Emigration from Eastern Europe took place at the end of the 19th century and many went to Dublin, Cork, Waterford, Limerick, Belfast. the chief rabbinate was founded in 1918 being Yitzhak Halevi Herzog with the Jewish population in 1990 at 1,600, mainly in Dublin,
Many Jews of Lithuania moved on to Dublin, Ireland and from there, to South Africa which Jews started settling in the early 19th century. Capetown had a synagogue by 1841. The settlers were traders and peddlers who traveled among the Boer farmers. Later they went to the towns. Gold was discovered there in the end of the 19th century, which eastern European Jews which drew many. Johannesburg became the main Jewish settlement, and they enjoyed the political equality in Cape Colony and Natal, but obtained it in the Transvaal only after the 2nd Boer War. Immigration to South Africa was popular following WWI and came mostly from Lithuania.
I know that Simon Goldfoot moved from Lithuania to South Africa in the 20's. His son, Stanley Goldfoot b: May 2, 1914, was born there in Houghton, Johannesburg, South Africa. Immediately after graduation high school, he made Aliyah to Palestine, and he lived in Jerusalem, becoming the Chief of Intelligence for the Stern Group which the British called the Stern Gang.
Polish–Lithuanian Conflict) was an undeclared war between newly independent Lithuania and Poland following World War I, which happened mainly, but not only, in the Vilnius and Suwałki regions. The war is viewed differently by the respective sides. According to Lithuanian historians, it was part of the Lithuanian Wars of Independence and lasted from May 1919 to 29 November 1920. Polish historians deem the Polish–Lithuanian war as occurring only in September–October 1920. Since the spring of 1920, the conflict became part of the wider Polish–Soviet War and was largely shaped by its progress. It was subject to international mediation at the Conference of Ambassadors and the League of Nations.
Though most emigration from Lithuania went to Israel, it is now going to other English-speaking countries. The rabbis of the principal congregations in Johannesburg (Jewish population was 63,620. Cape Town of which Cape Peninsula had 28,000. Chief rabbis and 65 synagogues are affiliated to the Orthodox Federation of Synagogues. A Reform Movement started in 1933 and has 14 affiliated congregations. Also, there are 69 nursery schools, 10 primary schools and 8 high schools. They have an extensive Jewish press and a lot of cultural activities. By 1990 there were 120,000 Jews living in South Africa.
In 1923, there were 300 Jewish elementary schools, the majority teaching in Hebrew, a minority in Yiddish (Hebrew-German Combo).
Jews of Central Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries immigrated to Ukraine and from Poland in the 16th to 17th centuries. Severe massacres happened during the Chmielnicki and the Haidamak uprising in the 17th to 18th centuries.
The Frankist and Hasidic movements originated in the 18th century in Ukraine which was also associated with the early Zionism in the 19th-20th centuries. Jews of Galicia and White Russia had emigrated there.
The Soviet Government promoted Jewish settlement in the Ukraine in the 1920's, however. They used the funds of the American Joint Distribution Committee in the regions of Kalinindorf, Zlatopol, and Stalindorf. By 1930 there were 90,000 Jewish agriculturists there. In January 1918 , a regime of national autonomy was estalished in the Ukraine. Jewish economy and culture suffered under Soviet rule. About half of Soviet Russia's 3 million Jews lived there before WWII. Under Nazi rule, the Jewish people who had not fled to Russia were wiped out by the Germans and Ukrainians from 1941 to 1942. The Jewish population was officially put at 777,126 in 1970 and at 484,129 in 1989.
There were restrictions on them imposed during the 1930's limited the influx (when Germany and Nazism were affecting all countries towards Jews), although many German Jews were able to settle in South Africa. After 1939, however, Jewish immigration was small to nothing. It has increased again in the late 1980's. .jpg%20invasion%20of%20Poland.jpg)
In 1939 when Germany marched into Poland, starting WWII, the Jewish population numbered about 175,000. About 25,000 were deported by the Russians from Lithuania and Latvia in July 1940. The remaining Jews were massacred by the Germans and Lithuanians by 1943. 24,000 Jews were living there in 1959, but by 1989 about half of these had left for Israel, leaving 12,312. Today of 2023 there are 52,300. I presume most have made aliyah to Israel.
Jews of Central Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries immigrated to Ukraine and from Poland in the 16th to 17th centuries. Severe massacres happened during the Chmielnicki and the Haidamak uprising in the 17th to 18th centuries.
The Frankist and Hasidic movements originated in the 18th century in Ukraine which was also associated with the early Zionism in the 19th-20th centuries. Jews of Galicia and White Russia had emigrated there.
Ukraine was the center of anti-Semitism. It was the scene of pogroms in 1905 and 1918 to 1920. Fiddler on the Roof was situated in Ukraine. As the play begins, Tevye, a Jewish milkman, tells of the customs in the little Russian town of Anatevka. It is 1905, and life here is as precarious as a fiddler on the roof, yet, through their traditions, the villagers endure. Anatevka (Ukrainian: Анатевка) is a Ukrainian refugee village that provides food, housing, education, and medical support for refugees resulting from the 2014 Russian invasion and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The village was established in 2015 and currently houses hundreds of families.
The Soviet Government promoted Jewish settlement in the Ukraine in the 1920's, however. They used the funds of the American Joint Distribution Committee in the regions of Kalinindorf, Zlatopol, and Stalindorf. By 1930 there were 90,000 Jewish agriculturists there.

About half of Soviet Russia's 3 million Jews lived there before WWII. Under Nazi rule, the Jewish people who had not fled to Russia were wiped out by the Germans and Ukrainians from 1941 to 1942.
The Jewish population was officially put at 777,126 in 1970 and at 484,129 in 1989. Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy (also transliterated as Zelensky or Zelenskiy; born 25 January 1978) is a Ukrainian politician and former comedian and actor who is the sixth and current president of Ukraine since 2019.

Goldfoot 3rd Cousins Meeting For 1st Time
 |
| Ian, Myself, and my brother David all three are Goldfoots; meeting at David's home- our 3rd cousin, from the South African branch. Here's the story. |
b: January 1, 1871, d: July 19, 1912 Portland, Oregon USA
My grandfather that I never knew. Evidently, my father
remembers combing his beard, so he must have grown one, though he was only 41 years 6 months 18 days old when he was killed in a horse and wagon accident when the horse was spooked and threw him out of the wagon and he hit his head and never gained consciousness again. He was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, the old one. My son is a nurse at the new St. Vincent's Hospital.

She spoke Yiddish.
Our Goldfoot family, found in Telsiai, Lithuania, spelled our surname as Goldfus, which is a Yiddish spelling for Goldfuss, which is German. I found some of us with the latter spelling, too. Jews had been in Lithuania since 1321. In 1495 they were residing in Vilna, Lithuania, Grodno and Kovno. By 1529 they even received a charter guaranteeing freedom of movement and employment. But, in 1495-1502, they were excluded from Lithuania, and between 1566-72, the Jewish badge was introduced and Jews could not give evidence in a courtroom.
Jews settled in Telz at the beginning of the 17th century. From 1623 to 1764, the "Vaad Medinath Lita" was established, and the Telz community was a subject of the "Kahal" of the Keidan district. By 1797 the population of Telz was 2,500, and of them, 1,650 were Jews, which was 66%. Telz Jews suffered from blood libels, one in 1758 and the 2nd in 1827. The accused were released by the court, but the whole ordeal caused all a lot of fear. Estate owners didn't like the Jews and accused them of being competitors in producing and selling alcohol, so in 1825 the nobles asked the Tsar to expel the Jews because they "spread diseases and threaten to rob and to steal..." Our ancestor, Movsha, was a distiller!
Nathan's great grandfather had been alive then, Iosel Josel Symka ben Yankel Goldfus b: 1798 d: December 19, 1878, born and raised in Telz. His wife was Rasha. I have 12 children listed for them.
They were part of Russia from 1795 to 1918. During WWI, 100,000 Jews were expelled or emigrated to the Russian interior. In 1893 there was a cholera epidemic and many poor Jews died. Finally Lithuania became independent and had national autonomy from 1918 to 1924. In 1919 Vilna was lost and became part of Poland. This move weakened the Jews of Lithuania and after 1924, autonomy was restricted to religious matters and the economic position of the Jews deteriorated in the coming years.
I've been able to go back to 1730 when Iones or Jonah Goldfus was born in Telsiai, Kaunas, Lithuania. I don't know who he was married to but had two sons, Abram b: 1752 and Mark b: 1753.

I don't know who ever called her Hattie, but she bore that name, though we all called her the Yiddish term for grandma, which was Bubbie. I turned it into Bobbie. |
After Charles, their first son was born in Council, they took the train and settled in Portland, Oregon.
My grandmother Hattie"Zlata" 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. On the Declaration of Intention of May 17, 1917, at age 31, she states she came from Zuwalta, 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 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 probably lived in Cuprum, Idaho with her sisters, a small mining town close to Council before she married.
Nathan's father was Movsha ben Josel Goldfus b: 1836 in Telsiai. d: November 8, 1878 in Telsiai. So he died when Nathan was 7 years old. This is interesting as my father was named Moses " Moshe" Goldfoot and was a 2nd son with Charles 2 years older. Movsha's wife was Beile (Beila).
Movsha's father was Iosel Josel Symka ben Yankel Goldfus. One of his other sons was Avrohom Abraham Haim Goldfus b: c1820.
Ireland
"A permanent settlement of Jews in Ireland was definitely established in the late fifteenth century. Following their expulsion from Portugal in 1496, some of these Marrano Jews settled on Ireland's south coast. One of them, William Annyas, was elected as mayor of Youghal, County Cork, in 1555, there was also Francis Annyas (Ãnes) a three time Mayor of Youghal in 1569, 1576 and 1581."
In Dublin, I had found Nathan, our grandfather, married to a Lena Goldberg on February 21, 1893. He was listed as a commercial traveler and needed no license. A witness was Leah Goldberg, her mother, b:c1850. Her father was Naftolee Goldberg, b: c1845, a capmaker. She was from someplace in Russia. In June 1893 he was at Londonderry, Ireland, a port city, heading for Quebec, Canada. By June 14, 1893, he was headed for Winnipeg, Canada on a ship, Parisian, listed as single and first arriving on that date in Quebec, Canada. They had his listed as Nathan Goldfort. (Nathan: June 14, 1893 on Parisian ship of Allen line (British 1881-) from Londonderry, Ireland to Winnipeg at age 22. b: 1871.) That marriage didn't last long, about only 4 months. We knew that he had previously been married without any issue, and wanted a family, but that was it. I haven't been able to ever find him living in Canada.
Nathan in 1893 lived at 13 Arbutus Place, SCR.
A researcher told me about this information. I can't remember which one it was but he was born in 1949. Nathan lived at 13 Arbutus Place, South Circular Road, Dublin Ireland in 1893 when he married Lena Goldberg. I found this about the address: (I (not my grandfather) was born in 1949 in a nursing home located just down the street at 102 South Circular Road, Portobello, (now renumbered as no. 18), which house had been the home of the President’s father, the first Chief Rabbi of Ireland, Isaac Herzog, throughout the 1920s. (He later moved the short distance to 33, Bloomfield Avenue for the remaining years of his ministry here before becoming Chief Rabbi of Eretz Israel.) I was accordingly born in the same house where Chaim Herzog spent most of his Dublin childhood and where his gifted brother, the late Ya’acov Herzog, had been born in 1921." Nathan left this addresss, at least 4 months later after February 21, 1893 when he married Lena.
By 1897, 3,088 Jews remained in Telsiai, Lithuania which was (51% of Telsiai's population. ) All would be killed in the Holoscaust of WWII.
Another researcher sent me this piece. "-He indicated in the 1910 census that he had arrived in the U.S. in 1896. So presumably, he was in Canada from 1893 to 1896. As the ship's arrival indicated that he was on his way to Winnipeg, we may assume that he was either there or in one of the other Canadian prairie cities with a Jewish population. Winnipeg has city directories for 1890 and 1897, but nothing in-between. I have access to the Canadian records on ancestry, but could not find him. My great-grandmother's brothers were in Alberta at that time. It was truly the wild west in those days. " 1910 would be the last census for him as he died on July 19, 1912 in Portland, Oregon.
Nathan's 1st cousin was LOUIS Yehudah Leib ben "Hyman-"Louis Goldfus", b: November 19, 1867 in Telsiai, d: March 18, 1955 in Capetown, South Africa, who was the grandfather of Ian Goldfoot. Louis's father was Avrohom Abraham Haim Goldfus b: abt 1820 in Telsiai.
Avrohom (Abraham) Haim Goldfus b: c1820 seems to be a common ancestor for both myself and my brother and Ian Goldfoot and his sister, Denise. David and I are his great grandniece and great grandnephew; and Ian Goldfoot and sister Denise are his great grandson and great granddaughter.

| David Goldfoot, son of Maurice and Ian Goldfoot, son of Solomon: 3rd cousins |
Mary died and Solomon remarried in 1943 to Jenny "Genundel"bat Yosef Shmuel Frankel. They had a daughter, Denise Goldfoot.
It seems that many Jewish Lithuanians made their way to England and then Dublin and onto South Africa. When I emigrated to Israel, I found that the education department had been developed by South Africans who were then the heads of departments. They must have arrived earlier than we Americans. Abba Eban certainly was one. 50,000 Jews still live in Johannesburg, South Africa.
A cousin I had learned about who is known to Ian Goldfoot is Stanley Goldfoot b: 1914 in South Africa. He is also our 3rd cousin through genealogy. Stanley was the Chief of Intelligence for the Stern Group (called gang by the British) in Palestine. I met him while living in Israel from 1980-end of 1985. We met at the KING DAVID HOTEL in Jerusalem. I asked how I would know him and he replied, "Don't worry. I'll know you." I've added him on the genealogy tree below. Stanley is Ian's 2nd cousin. Since then, we met at his home in Jerusalem.
Another 3rd cousin I have contacted with is also from South Africa and is a Gochin who were from Papile, Lithuania. His ancestor had married a Goldfoot lady.
One other I want to mention is one of 2 heads of the Halpern & Branches group on FTDNA. I found out that we are connected to Rabbi Samson Wertheimer b: 1658 Worms, Germany, d: 1724 Vienna, Austria He in turn was known to connect to RASHI b: 1040 Troyes, France d: 1105 Troyes, France, and he was known to connect to King David of Israel b: 1010 BCE-d: 970 BCE

3/11/08 Oral history from Stanley Goldfoot and
Denise's father, Solomon Goldfoot was that they were descendants of Vilna Gaon, who was Elijah Ben Solomon
Zalman. 1720-1797. Talmudist.
He was born in Lithuania and was early famed for his scholarship. From 1740-1745 he traveled among the Jewish
communities of Poland and Germany, settling in Vilna where he taught and later
founded his own academy. He lived in
seclusion and refused rabbinic office.
He was called a saint and a scholar.
He led the opposition to the Hasidim in Lithuania, ordering their
excommunication and the destruction of their literature. His obdurate attitude checked the spread of
Hasidism in Lithuania. When he was
about 60, he set out unaccompanied for Palestine but returned before reading
it. His reputation lies primarily in
the field of halakhah. He sought to
establish critical texts of the authoritative rabbinic writings, resorting also
to emendations. He avoided pilpul and
based his views and rulings upon the plain meaning of the text. He regarded highly the early kabbalistic
works, and was extremely critical of philosophy. He was interested in secular studies insofar as they threw light
on the Torah, but he opposed the Haskalah.
His works include commentaries on the Bible, annotations on the Talmud,
Midrash, and Zohar, works on mathematics, the geography of Palestine, Hebrew
grammar, etc. He exercised a vast
influence on his own and succeeding generations, the Mitnaggedim regarding him
as their spiritual leader.
4/1/15 and 6/17/15, He died at age 92 from old age, on Lithuania death list of LitvakSIG. On Tevet 5.
also from Jewishgen through Dennis Khan.

I had found many Goldfus people in Lithuania and did add a few here and there by dates, but most all were found, and on the website of Jewish Genealogy (Jewishgen.org. )with the knowledge of who their fathers were. My findings were even checked by a lady who also had Goldfoot on her tree, Gene Lepere, who is a Hirschhorn and author of 2 books, NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN and a book about her father, Little Man in a Big Hurry: The Life of Joseph H. Hirshhorn, Uranium King and Art Collector.
All this and Nathan's grave in Hebrew says that his father was Chaim Itzak Goldfus. I had found a Chaim but none with a middle name. We had known Nathan to have no middle name. Since our grandmother is the one who ordered the headstone, I presume she knew something, but haven't been able to find a record according to this piece of information. One researcher thought that the name, "Abraham," was significant to connect the South African with us, and lo and behold, Nathan's middle child, the one who died as an infant, was Abraham. With DNA, we do know we are connected.
