GUTMAN GROUP HOMEPAGE |
|
ORIGINS & HISTORY
A history of the Gutman (Goodman) family, which includes connections to the Frydman, Zuck and Debovitch families.
A history of the Dobrzynski (Samuel/Samuels) family, which includes connections to the Rose, Leventhall, Lyons, Goodman, Cohen and Coplin families.
Radom is the ancestral shtetl of the Frydman family, and where my branch of the Gutman family lived. Ada Holtzman has constructed one-page websites for various shtetlach in Poland, and this is her Radom site. Most of the material published covers the events of the Holocaust in Radom, as well as extracts from the Yizkor Book. There are also population figures, some information on indexing projects and links to sites that include other Radom data. The city of Radom today has a very impressive website with a fully translated English version. |
Due to the sensitive nature of making available information concerning living individuals, I have felt it necessary to institute a password protection system to proceed beyond this point. I reserve the right to distribute the password at my discretion. Please e-mail me at saulmarks@hotmail.com if you think you may be related to these families.

At the National Archives, certificates of immigration exist for some (but not all) foreigners entering London from Germany, Poland and Prussia between 1836 and 1852. One of these appears to be Hanna Dobrzynski (née Schelinski, later Samuel/s), who arrived from Hamburg in June 1849.

Joseph and his family were formally naturalised in October 1894, having lived in England for six years. He applied at the same time as his brother Simon (below), whose documentation was not processed quite as quickly.
Simon and his family were formally naturalised in January 1895, having lived in England for seven years. The most notable issue on the standard "Memorial" (application form) is the apparent falsification of his children's ages by as much as nine or ten years, and the omission of other children altogether. This followed on from his invention of two fictional children on the 1891 census! Joseph and his family were formally naturalised in 1896. As well as the Memorial, a police report was commissioned and mention is made of Joseph being seriously early in the year.
This Joseph Goodman was the eldest son of Simon Goodman, above, and the nephew of Joseph Goodman (I), above. Despite having arrived in England in 1888, Joseph did not naturalise until 1913. A police report is included.
Harry Goodman was another son of Simon Goodman, above, and the brother of Joseph Goodman (II), above. Despite having arrived in England in 1888 and being included in his father's 1894/5 naturalisation, Harry naturalised in his own right in 1922. By this time, the process of naturalisation had become much longer and more detail is revealed about the applicant and his family.
In British law, when someone dies intestate, Letters of Administration (known as admons) are required to release the deceased's property. Henry Samuels was an immigrant boot- and shoemaker who established a strong financial base for his family.
When someone dies having left a will, Grant of Probate is required to release the deceased's property. Abraham was Henry Samuels' son-in-law and owner of a very successful chain kosher butcher's shops.
Fanny was Henry Samuels' daughter and Abraham Rose's wife. She and her sons continued the butchering business after Abraham's death and she started a rag business on the side.

Sophia Leventhall died aged only 12 in 1905, and was originally thought to have been the subject of the first Jewish autopsy in Britain. The Leeds Mercury mentions the incident in a short article, and a death notice was posted in the Jewish Chronicle.
Lily Goodman died aged 29 in 1929, as a result of a road traffic accident near Hunsingore, in Yorkshire. The Leeds Mercury mentions the accident and subsequent inquest in two short articles.
As far as I am aware, Morris was one of only six of my ancestors to have fought in the British Army in the First World War. Having joined up in April 1916, he saw action in France and Flanders for 14 months, before being badly injured and sent home. Having convalesced and married, he served at home for a further 11 months, eventually being demobbed in October 1919.
