Goldfinger Family born in Palestine

Surnames: Goldfinger
My mother's maternal grandfather, Isidor Eisenberger, married Hani (aka Hannah/Anna/Anne) Goldfinger from Nagytarkany, Hungary (now part of Slovakia, I think). Hani's parents names were Samuel (bat (daughter of) Shmuel on her headstone) and Leni (Leah).

This is the confusing branch of the family for me. In the 1910 US Census, Hani attested that her parents were born in Palestine. I'm not sure about the connection between Hungary and Palestine or how they went from one place to the other.

Hani's parents are buried on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem (per my grandmother, Hani's daughter) and I am attaching a photo from a well known studio in the Armenian Quarter.

Wondering if anybody out there has these same Goldfingers in their family or any other knowledge of them. Please contact me if you do.

Thank you!
