The Goldade Family History

About the Book

A tour of military service to Europe created the inspiration to research the origins of my ancestors. The book The Goldade Family History Second edition is the result of over thirty years of research. All information contained in the book was obtained directly from archived records and personal interviews. In the search for information, the author made numerous trips to Ukraine, Russia and Germany. The book is the accumulation of the most comprehensive Goldate/Goldade ancestral linkage records. In addition to the ancestral information of family charts and linage, the book also contains a harrowing story of a displaced Goldade family fleeing from the carnage during World war II and their ultimate demise.
