I'm trying to sort out a family or two of GOLDs - that name used in the
US and in England. But further back than that?? I find myself wondering
if searching for the surname "GOLD" is appropriate. What is likely to be
the original (Russian/Yiddish/Hebrew/whatever would have been used then
around Gomel) form of the name?
