Searching for Goltsman brothers Print E-mail
We recently received a request from Michael Goltsman who lives in Russia.  His grandfather, Jacob Goltsman, son of Abraham, was born in the Lipsko, Ishetsky district, Radom province, in 1900.  Jacob left Poland for Saratov, Russia in 1914 while two older brothers came to Toronto at that time.  Michael believes that the two brothers had a weaving mill. His grandfather and the brothers had corresponded until the time of the Cold War.

Michael is seeking information about these brothers, i.e. his great uncles, and their families.  It appears that his grandfather remained in Russia.

Does anyone know about two Goltsman brothers who came to Toronto pre-World War I from Radom who had a brother Jacob who did not immigrate to Canada?  A photo of Jacob as a young man is attached.

Note:  Perhaps these brothers were known as Holtsman or Holtzman since the Russian “G” is the Polish “H”, as is seen in names Galpern and Halpern.
