Goodman (Gutman) Telzer arrived in the U.S. about 1884. He married Dora (Dubka) Eyruf on 8/4/1886. Goodman was born in 1864 and died on 3/22/1924 in New York City. Dora was born in 1867 and died on 4/13/1927 in NYC.  Goodman and Dora are buried in Washington Cemetery, Brooklyn.  Goodman and Dora had 8 children.  Descendants' surnames include Welinsky, Gorman, Wish, Spector, Freeman, Collik, Berzak, Oksenhendler, Reed, Van Baalen, Tilzer, Hargrove, and McFather.  See Goodman's Photo.

Goodman Telzer built a successful paint and glazing contracting business known as G. Telzer & Sons, which was located at 9 James St., NYC.

Goodman was a President of the B'nai Israel Anshei Kaidan shul and is buried in their section in Washington Cemetery in Brooklyn. He came to the U.S. from the shtetl Vendzhigola (now known as Vandziogala in Lithuania) where 1874 records show that he was one of ten children of Shmuel and Sifra.

Vandziogala is located 12 miles south of Keidan (now known as Kedainiai) and 15 miles north of Kovno (now known as Kaunas). Goodman's wife came from Slobodka (Vilijampole), a suburb of Kovno.
