About The Goldberg Family
[The photos are of Charlotte Brass, Martin (her husband) and their two sons, Solly; and Sam;  and 
 Isaac 
 Goldberg's tombstone. And a photo of the inscription on the front of Niddrie Road Shul  (Langside 
 Hebrew Congregation) commemorating Abraham Goldberg's laying of the foundation stone; the shul  closed down in Spring 2016

This site's central reference point is David Goldberg's four grandparents - [paternal] Bessie  Margolis and  Abraham Goldberg and [maternal] Isaac Cohen and Regina Blumenthal. The "Glasgow Goldbergs" begin with the arrival, from Dublin, in 1907/8 (?), of Bessie and  Abraham 
 with eldest son Ephraim (b.Dublin 1907). Abraham married Bessie  (an orphan from 8yo; she lived in Dublin with brother and sister-in-law) in 1905 in Dublin.  Abraham founded a business in Glasgow, to be known as "A.Goldberg and Sons Ltd" selling  everything 
 for the home, including groceries and clothes. An ardent Zionist, Abraham purchased land in  1930´s 
 Yishuv; founded a citrus processing  company in 1937, Citrus Food Products/Pri-Peri as well as  other institutions in Rehovot. He moved there in 1945 for two years. The first Glasgow home was  in 
 55 Main Street, Gorbals. Other children were born: Melach (Michael); Ray; Sadie; Milly and  Leslie. Sadie and Milly die, coincidentally, both at 7 months old. Ray (m. Frederic Landau; one  daugther, Anna)and Leslie (m Sheila Joy Barnet; no issue) settled in London. In Ireland,  Abraham 
 parted company with his brother, Louis, who travelled to USA/NJ. From Chiz Goldberg's  autobiography, we learn that there also three sisters: Molly, Sarah and Lena who have also  settled 
 in the USA. Isaac Goldberg (Abraham's father)arrives in NYC in 1921 and dies there in 1932.  Melach 
 (he officially registered as "Michael" in 1971) is introduced to (I)Rene Cohen in London (by  his 
 sister Ray) and they marry in London  in 1942. Their first marital home is in Dumbarton,  Michael 
 serving during WW2 at RAOC Bonhill (apart from a 6 week stint in Norway in 1945). Rene's  parents 
 are Isaac Cohen, who's mother is Malkah Rokach, was born in Petach-Tikvah and Regina Gittel  Blumenthal, born in Riga. Rene has one brother, Vivian, who  changes his name to "Craig" in  1953. 
 Michael and Rene have two children,  Judith (Judy) and David. Michael's brother Ephraim (with  whom  he eventually runs A.G and S)  marries Clarisse Schamisso (Antwerp); they have three  children, Myra, Mark and Marion.
