Isaac and Malka Gutman were my 4th great grandparents. No records of them, apart from being mentioned as the parents of Wolf Gutman (1789-1844) and Baruch Gutman (1793-1846). First record of the Gutman family is from 1830 in Kock (Kotsk), when Wolf's infant daughter Fayga died. Wolf was a tavern keeper and Baruch a laborer.
Wolf died in Kock in 1844, Baruch in 1846, Wolf's wife Frieda in 1855, Baruch's son David in 1872, and David's first wife Tamar in 1855. No indication of where any of them were born. Wolf and Frieda had a daughter, Shaindel Goldstein, who married in 1838 and had sons Abraham (1840) and Wolf (1851). A son, Baruch, is the only survivor mentioned in the record of Frieda's death in 1855. Shaindel might have died before then, or might have moved away from Kock.
The only record of Baruch is the 1846 record of his death. There is a record of his son David's marriage to Tamar Hanft in Konskowola in 1836, and of the birth of David and Tamar's son Yankiel (Jenny's father) in Kock in 1844. David is described as a teacher.
Yankiel married Esther Shaindel Handelsman. No record of this. Records of the births of Dvora in Michow in 1872 and of Yenta in Michow in 1872, also the marriages in Michow of Yenta (1892), Leah (1896), and Malka (1901). There is also a record of the death of Esther Shaindel in Michow in 1899. There is also a record of the birth of Leah in Kock in 1875. No records of Charna (Jenny) or Noah. No one alive ever heard of Dvora, Leah, or Malka. My mother's given name, on her birth certificate, was Dvora, so possibly she was named after her aunt.
David Gutman remarried after the death of his first wife and at least one child of that marriage, Ruchla Bielaniec, born 1859, reached adulthood and married in Kock in 1877. Wolf Gutman had several children but only one, Shaindel Ruchla Goldstein, born 1820, is known to have reached adulthood and married in Kock in 1838. At least one of Shaindel's son, Abraham Goldstein, born 1840, reached adulthood and married in Kock. There are other Gutman records from Kock but for most there is no evidence of blood relationship.
So the extended Gutman family was in Kock from 1830-1877. With so many there for that long it is likely that many of the descendants of Isaac and Malka were there until World War II. It is also likely that many emigrated.
So Jenny Goodman's parents were Yankiel Gutman (1844-?) and Esther Shaindel Gutman (?-1899), nee Handelsman.
Yankiel's parents were David Gutman (1813-1872) and Tamar Hanft (1814-1855). David's parents were Baruch (1793-1846) and Yenta Gutman (?-?). Baruch's parents were Isaac (?-?) and Malka (?-?).
Esther Shaindel's parents are noted on her death certificate as David Handelsman and Perla Handelsman, nee Kave. Her death was reported by her brother Moshe, 56, who also resided in Michow.
Interesting that Esther Shaindel's mother was named Perla. I was always under the impression that my aunt Pearl was named after Jenny's mother but perhaps she was actually named after Jenny's grandmother.

Key Documents:
Marriage record for Yenta Gutman. We know Grandma's sister married Isaac Lederman in 1892 in Michow, which is what this record states, so this is definitely my great aunt Yenta.
This document gives Yenta's parents as Yankiel Gutman and Esther Shaindel Gutman (nee Handelsman). Yankiel and Shaindel are also given as the parents in documents of the birth of Dvora Gutman in 1868, marriage of Leah Gutman in 1896, marriage of Malka Gutman in 1899, and birth of Yenta in 1872.
The 1844 birth record of Yankiel in Kock is consistent with the ages given in the above documents. His parents are given as David and Tamar.
The 1872 death record of David Gutman in Kock mentions Yankiel as one of the survivors, and also names David's parents as Baruch and Yenta.
There is an 1846 record of the death of Baruch Gutman in Kock. David is mentioned as a survivor. Baruch's parents are given as Isaac and Mala.
There is a November, 1844 record of the death of Wolf Gutman, cleric, in Kock. His parents are given as Isaac and Mala. He is survived by his wife, Frieda.
In other documents concerning the children of Wolf and Frieda, Wolf is a tavern keeper. In July, 1844 a law took effect in Poland prohibiting Jews from tavern keeping. Presumably Wolf took up religious studies as a new career.

Death of David Gutman in 1872
I have yet to obtain this document. On JewishGen it cites Akt 2 of Film 1496651 (available from LDS)
Parents on the website are given as Baruch and Yenta. Note adds that survivors were his wife Szejwa, son Jankel, and daughter Ruchla.

1908 immigration document
On this document it gives the address of 518 Burrows Avenue, Winnipeg in column 11 as the address of closest relative (Jennie Goodman). There are records in Winnipeg that a J Goodman, cabinet maker with the GW Murray Company, resided at that address. The owner of the house was an E. Meyers.
In column 18 it states that Joe is going to a cousin named C. Meyers at 1807 Carr (possibly Cora) in St Louis. Odd coincidence of the name Meyers.
Columns 30,31,32 state that Joe arrived in Montreal on the SS Victorian in May, '05. 1906 seems more likely to me. Passenger List For SS Victorian (just enter Victorian for 'Name Of Ship')
Joe told me that they tried farming in Quebec but gave up after one winter. I conjecture that they moved on to Winnipeg, where cousin E. Meyers offered shelter. Perhaps E. Meyers also worked for GW Murray.
What a journey! From the shtetl to St Louis in 8 years, via Warsaw, London, Montreal, and Winnipeg
