DAVID PHILLIP of St Helens made a chance discovery through
the National Archives about his grandparents Philip and Yetta Goldberg.
Philip was born in October 1877 in Garvolin, Poland and Yetta
(Yochved) Goldberg (nee Lerman) was born in September 1876 in Warsaw,
Poland.
David knew that they had emigrated to Liverpool in 1904 but it
was only when he saw his grandfather's application for naturalisation
in 1927 that he discovered where they originally came from.
He also learned that his grandfather, left behind his brother,
Moses (Moshe) Goldberg, and his sister, Yetta Goldberg.
"We don't know whether either of them escaped before the Holocaust,"
David said.
"Before we stumbled upon the archived naturalisation application,
we had thought that our grandparents had married on arrival in Liverpool.
I searched the civil marriages for the early 1900s, for Liverpool.
"I thought I had found their marriage details in 1906. However,
when I received the copy marriage certificate, June 5, 1906, for
a marriage solemnised at the Princes Road Synagogue, the groom was
another Philip Goldberg, who married Rachel Cohen."
