My grandfather was Kauf Goodman from Poland. He came from Poland to Schenectady in 1905. I think he had a business with Nathan,...I'm just discovering, called the Goodman Brothers in Schenectady. Just noticing your inquirey....10 years later. If you see this, you can reach me at maxineharriet@yahoo.com My mother's maiden name was Goodman, and the Goodmans all started out in Schenectady. Some of them moved to Baltimore.......but i am still in search of all of the Schenectady relatives.
