One came from Russia (Rezekne area, now Latvia) and moved to NYC. This family would include a Jospeh Berl Goldberg who died in 1918 in New York. Their name probably was once Halbreich (German), was changed to Galbreich in Russia, then Goldberg in the US. His wife was Sheina Maltinsky, though I am not sure if her name changed in the US. She died in 1940 in Brooklyn. One of their children, Esther (hebrew name Menucha) married Henry Luban in Rezekne then moved to Milwaukee, perhaps via New York City. I am looking for information on Joseph Berl Goldberg and his parents and I have information on Sheina's family as well as the children of Esther/Menucha and Henry Luban's family. The other Goldberg family came from either Russia or Poland and settled in Philadelphia. A Jennie Goldberg from there married David Danning. Jennie might have been born in Philly around 1879 and died in California in 1983. David's original name is unknown (he picked "Danning" up along the way), but he was born in the 1870's in Daugavpils, then Russia, now Latvia, left for Argentina in the 1880's, made his way to Philladelphia in the early 1900's, married Jennie Goldberg and they moved to California before 1924. He died around 1928. I have information on Jennie and David's children, but I am looking for information on Jennie's family as well as information on David's original name.
