W1h mtDNA haplogroup of my Bubba, Zlata
Nadene Goldfoot
As a result of Russian discriminatory policies for much of the 19th century – a time when the town's population steadily increased – Jews were the majority of Siedlce's population: 3,727 (71.5%) in 1839; 4,359 (65%) in 1841; 5,153 (67.5%) in 1858; 8,156 (64%) in 1878.
Later on, the percentage of Jews decreased due to non-Jewish migration: according to the Russian census of 1897, out of the total population of 23,700, Jews constituted 11,400 (so around 48% percent). The first Polish census, in 1921, recorded 14,685 Jews living in Siedlce. Their number remained steady in the interwar period, and in 1939, on the eve of the Second World War, there were some 15,000 Jews living in the town.

Luckily, my Bubba left Europe in 1903.
Lithuanian-Poland Border today: Lazdijai (Lazdey), Lithuania was taken over by Poland.
My Bubba was born in Lazdijai Lozdzieje, Alytraus, Suwalki Zuwalta, Lithuania on January 11, 1866. Her grandfather may have been fromPoland. In 1815, Napoleon was defeated and all of Lithuania was annexed
From the Union of Lublin (1569) to the partitions, there was no Polish-Lithuanian border, as both countries were a part of a single federated entity, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. In medieval times, the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania shared yet another border.
During the partitions of Poland era, there were borders between the Congress Poland (Augustów Voivodeship) and Lithuanian lands of the Russian Empire (Kovno Governorate and Vilna Governorate). Partitions of Poland, (1772, 1793, 1795), three territorial divisions of Poland, perpetrated by Russia, Prussia, and Austria, by which Poland's size was progressively reduced until, after the final partition, the state of Poland ceased to exist. Until 1795, Lazde was part of the Polish Lithuanian Kingdom, when the 3rd division of Poland by Russia, Prussia and Austria resulted in Lithuania becoming partly Russian and partly Prussian. The part of the state that lay on the left side of the Nieman River (Nemunas), including Lazdey, was handed over to Prussia that ruled there during 1795-1807).
to Russia, as a result of which Lazdey was included in the Augustowa
Province (Gubernia), and by 1866, it became a part of the Suwalk
gubernia as a county administrative center.
Her granddaughter took the DNA test to find out her mtDNA. It was W1h, called "Wilma". 
Zlata, aka Addie/Hattie or Ettie (according to census takers) with her daughter, Ann and granddaughter, Harriet b:1941. She immigrated from Lithuania on May 6, 1903 and came to Cuprum, Idaho, a mining town not far from Council, Idaho, where some of her family were living. Eventually she met Nathan Goldfoot and they moved to Portland, Oregon, first marrying on November 20, 1905 in Boise, Idaho.

My Bubba, Zlata Goldfoot nee Jermulowsky, was of the W1h mtDNA haplogroup. The oldest branch of W to develop was W1, which emerged about 15,000 years ago, W1h: was found mostly in Baltic and East Slavic countries, but also in Norway, Denmark, Italy, Pakistan, India (Punjab, Gujarat), Saudi Arabia and among Ashkenazi Jews.
This is the sex chromosome that decides the sex of a baby. Both men and women carry it, but it is passed onto one's children only by a female. Thus, a direct line develops from mother to daughter and keeps going. The original mtDNA was from Eve who had 7 daughters. W was not one of them. She was found later by the scientists.
She was very very short. Beides that, her legs were broken and never mended right in a Pogrom in Lithuania, making her even shorter. She had to stand on a chair to reach her 6" tall husband, Nathan Abraham Goldfoot to kiss him. Zlata had black curly hair and brown eyes.
In an obvious reference to the Flintstones cartoon series, National Geographic have run a story on the reconstruction of a Neandertal woman they call ‘Wilma’. Her face appears partially on their cover, pictured here; you can see the full-facial view on NG’s site.
National Geographic unveils Wilma, the Neandertal lady in 2008. I have no idea if they know this skeleton's mtDNA, though it is easier to access than the male line of Ydna, or if they just thought of Fred and Wilma of the Flintstone comics.
Haplogroup W1h is believed to have originated around 23,900 years ago in Western Asia. This clade has been given the name of Wilma. It is a Jewish branch. It is descended from the haplogroup N2. N is not one of the original 7, either. The 7 original daughters were Ursula, Xenia, Helena, Velda, Tara, Kathrine and Jasmine.
FTDNA say that Haplogroup W is derived from the N superhaplogroup, which dates to approximately 65,000 years ago. The origin of haplogroup W dates to approximately 25,000 years ago, and it is mainly found distributed in west Eurasia (or Europe). It is likely that individuals bearing this lineage participated in the expansion into the bulk of Europe following the Last Glacial Maximum. Future work, including obtaining more samples from central Asia, will further refine the historical distribution of this haplogroup and better determine the role it played in the peopling of Europe.
Neandertals were with us until about 40,000 years ago. They most likely went extinct due to assimilation into the modern human genome, great climatic change, disease, or a combination of these factors.
The commoner European haplogroups, H, U, X V, T, K and J, are dubbed by Prof Bryan Sykes as the Seven Daughters of Eve; Helena, Ursula, Xenia, Velda, Tara, Katrine and Jasmin. The W haplogroup is considerably older than any of these and clan W affectionately refer to the common maternal ancestor as Wilma (Flintstone) and the most informative website is Peter Wade's W Haplogroup Home Page.
Peter Wade's research suggests that Wilma's descendants separated from the N1 clan between 49,000 and 26,800 years ago in what is now known as the Punjab region of north west India and northern Pakistan. Some of her descendants moved east towards Asia and others migrated west into Europe.
By the onset of the last ice age around 18,000 years ago the European Wilmas, together with people of haplogroups U7 and R2 were confined to the ice-age refuge in what is now Turkey. When global temperatures rose again around 14,000 years ago, these Wilmas continued to migrate west and haplogroup W is now found in low numbers right across Europe as far west as Ireland.
So Zlata's W1h clade could have started off from Turkey or even an area in Pakistan and migrated into Poland/Lithuania.
Haplogroup N is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) clade. A macrohaplogroup, its descendant lineages are distributed across many continents. Like its sibling macrohaplogroup M, macrohaplogroup N is a descendant of the haplogroup L3. All mtDNA haplogroups found outside of Africa are descendants of either haplogroup N or its sibling haplogroup M. M and N are the signature maternal haplogroups that define the theory of the recent African origin of modern humans and subsequent early human migrations around the world. The global distribution of haplogroups N and M indicates that there was likely at least one major prehistoric migration of humans out of Africa, with both N and M later evolving outside the continent.
Haplogroup W is found in Europe, Western 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%) and in Siberia among Yakuts (6/423 = 1.42%). 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 Kingdom.
Haplogroup W is particularly common in the eastern half of Europe, in the North Caucasus, in Central Asia, in Iran and in the north-west of the Indian subcontinent. In Europe, the maximum frequencies of W are observed in Finland (9.5%), Hungary (5%), Latvia (4%), Macedonia (4%) and Belarus (3.5%, but over 5% if we exclude the south). Haplogroup W is also well represented among some ethnicities of the North Caucasus, such as the Karachay-Balkars (8%), Avars (8%), Svans (8%) and Adyghe-Kabardin (5%).
In Asia, haplogroup W is most common among the northern Pakistani (8%), Tajiks (6%), northwest Indians (5%) and Iranians (3.5%), but is also found around 1.5% among the Uzbeks, Turkmens and Kazakhs, and at trace frequencies (< 0.5%) among many North Asian ethnic groups (Tuva, Yakuts, Buryats, Mongolians, Koreans, Japanese).

OTTOMAN EMPIRE TAKES ON POLAND AND LITHUANIA and Got To Meet Russia
Nadene Goldfoot
Did we know this history? Polish–Ottoman War (1672–1676) was a conflict between the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Ottoman Empire, as a precursor of the Great Turkish War. It ended in 1676 with the Treaty of Żurawno and the Commonwealth ceding control of most of its Ukraine territories to the Empire. Ottoman forces, numbering 80,000 men and led by Grand Vizier Köprülü Fazıl Ahmed and Ottoman sultan Mehmed IV, invaded Polish Ukraine in August 1672.
So the lands occupied by Jews were invaded by the Muslims of eastern Europe. Russia would later keep Jews out of Russia proper; allowing them to live in the Pale of Settlement. The Pale of Settlement was a western region of Imperial Russia with varying borders that existed from 1791 to 1917, in which permanent residency by Jews was allowed and beyond which Jewish residency, permanent or temporary, was mostly forbidden. This was under the decree of Catherine the Great.
Lazdijai, Lithuania was the birthplace of my paternal grandmother, Zlata Hattie Jermulowske b: January 11, 1886 when it was on the border between Poland and Lithuania, at that time a part of Lithuania, she said. Zlata immigrated to the states in 1900 at about age 14. She came speaking only Yiddish and had had no education. She ended up in Council, Idaho, a mining town in the mountains of Idaho where her half-sisters and brothers had found a spot for them. Zlata worked in a nearby mining town of Cuprum, serving food and washing dishes. She married at 19 to 34 yr old Nathan Abraham Goldfus.
Lithuania was established by Sigismund II Augustus in 1570 and granted Magdeburg Rights by Sigismund III Vasa in 1587.
Lithuania was mostly in the Russian side (purple).
Large numbers of Lithuanians had emigrated to the United States in 1867–1868 after a famine in Lithuania. Between 1868 and 1914, approximately 635,000 people, almost 20 percent of the population, left Lithuania. Lithuanian cities and towns were growing under the Russian rule, but the country remained underdeveloped by the European standards and job opportunities were limited; many Lithuanians left also for the industrial centers of the Russian Empire, such as Riga and Saint Petersburg. Many of Lithuania's cities were dominated by non-Lithuanian-speaking Jews and Poles.
Partitions of Poland, (1772, 1793, 1795), three territorial divisions of Poland, perpetrated by Russia, Prussia, and Austria, by which Poland’s size was progressively reduced until, after the final partition, the state of Poland ceased to exist.
Lazdijai (Lazdey) in Yiddish is located in the SW part of Lithuania with several big lakes nearby at the junction of roads leading to Mariamol and Alite and was established in 1570 by King Zigmunt. It was part of the Polish Lithuanian kingdom up to 1795; then became part Russian and part Prussian. From 1807-1813 it belonged to the Great Dukedom of WArsaw and was part of the Bialystok district. In 1827 the population was 1988 living in 272 houses. By 1887 about 1500 Jews had been affected by fires.
Jews lived in Lazdijai by end of 16th century (since late 1500s.) In 1879 200 houses were destroyed by fire and owners became homeless. In 1886 another fire consumed 250 Jewish houses; in 1888 another 70 houses.
Those territorial divisions were altered in 1807, when the emperor Napoleon of France created the duchy of Warsaw out of the central provinces of Prussian Poland, and in 1815, when the Congress of Vienna created the Congress Kingdom of Poland. However, the main result of the partitions—i.e., the elimination of the sovereign state of Poland—was in effect until after World War I, when the Polish republic was finally restored (November 11, 1918).
Where is Lazdijai, Suwalki, Lithuania/Poland? Lazdijai (
pronunciation (help·info) Polish: Łoździeje) is a small town in Lithuania located about 7 km (4.3 mi) east of the border with Poland.
The last and most tenacious of the Polish uprisings of the mid-19th century erupted in the Russian-occupied sector in January 1863 (see January Uprising). Following Russia's disastrous defeat in the Crimean War, the government of Tsar Alexander II enacted a series of liberal reforms, including liberation of the serfs throughout the empire. The high-handed imposition of land reforms in Poland aroused hostility among the conservative landed nobility on the one hand, and a group of young radical intellectuals influenced by Karl Marx and the Russian liberal Alexander Herzen, on the other.
Repeating the pattern of 1830–31, the open revolt of the January Insurrection by Congress Poland failed to win foreign backing. Although its socially progressive program could not mobilize the peasants, the rebellion persisted stubbornly for fifteen months.
After finally crushing the insurgency in August 1864, Russia abolished the Congress Poland altogether and revoked the separate status of the Polish lands, incorporating them directly as the Western Region of the Russian Empire. The region was placed under the dictatorial rule of Mikhail Muravyov-Vilensky, who became known as the Hangman of Vilnius. All Polish citizens were assimilated into the empire. When Russia officially emancipated the Polish serfs in early 1864, an act that constituted the most important event in history of nineteenth-century Poland, it removed a major rallying point from the agenda of potential Polish revolutionaries.

| THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AT ITS GREATEST The Ottoman Empire lived for 400 years. It was a state and caliphate that controlled much of Southeastern Europe, Western Asia, and Northern Africa between the 14th and early 20th centuries. It was founded at the end of the 13th century in northwestern Anatolia in the town of Söğüt by the Turkoman tribal leader Osman I.
The Turks of the Ottoman Empire teamed up with Germany and lost the 1st WORLD War (1914-1918), losing all this land to the Western forces, the Allies. The Middle East and Eastern Europe went to the United Kingdom, France, Italy and USA. The Axis were the Ottoman Empire, Austria-Hungary, Germany.

pronunciation (help·info) Polish: Łoździeje) is a small town in Lithuania located about 7 km (4.3 mi) east of the border with Poland.
Lithuania and Poland formed a Commonwealth in 1569. Initially, it was successful in deterring enemies. However, the political union led to gradual Polonization of the Lithuanian nobility as Lithuanians of the time regarded Polish culture to be superior.
By the 17th century, Poland-Lithuania was weakened due to a unique yet hard-to-manage political system of "Noble democracy" where a consensus was a prerequisite for any important decision. The Commonwealth lost a series of wars that wiped out its great power position. In the late 18th century (1772-1795) the country was completely partitioned and annexed by Prussia, Austria, and Russia with the main Lithuanian lands falling under the Russian rule.
The Russians banned Lithuanian language and suppressed Catholic religion. There were two unsuccessful revolts to restore Poland-Lithuania (1831 and 1863) but eventually the National Revival established a goal for Lithuania independent of both Russia and Poland. The restoration of statehood for Lithuania finally became possible after both the crumbling Russian Empire and the Germans surrendered in World War 1(1914-1918).
The last and most tenacious of the Polish uprisings of the mid-19th century erupted in the Russian-occupied sector in January 1863 (see January Uprising).

On November 3, 1941, 1,535 Jews were murdered in Lazdijai, including 485 men, 511 women and 539 children The perpetrators were members of the Rollkommando Hamann, local policemen and Lithuanian nationalists.
In 1990 Lithuania declared independence from the Soviet Union, and new check points between the borders Poland and Lithuania were established and Lazdijai became the center that oversees and continues to regulate these operations. It is the birthplace of Lithuanian politician and producer Arūnas Valinskas and of Russian-American composer and violinist Joseph Achron.

Our Jermulowske Family With Founder Zlata, Daughter of Joshua Charles (Hatzkel) Isaiahel Jermulowski
Nadene Goldfoot
Donald Eichman
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.
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.
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.

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

1st cousin, A. Donald Eichman
Donald Eichman
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. |
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 |
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.

| 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. |

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

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.
