Shaindel was the daughter of Wolf Gutman
Wolf Gutman (c1789-1844) was my 3rd great uncle, brother of my 3rd great grandfather Baruch Gutman (c1793-1846)
"It happened in Kock on 21 December 1838 (or 34) at 10 am appeared before me Szmul Ksiazka with Mordka Dawidowicz Goldstein, residing with parents, aged 19, born in Kock of David and Mindla Goldstein residing in Kock, tavern keepers, and Szendla Ruchla Gutman, spinster aged 18, born of Wolf Gutman, tavern keeper, and Frieda Gutman, married couple, residing in Kock, who until now was living with her parents and stated that yesterday in the presence of witnesses David Mindl, tavern keeper, aged 53 and Judka Richtman aged 35 residing in Kock, a religious marriage between Mordka and Szendla was concluded, which was proceeded by banns on 1, 8 and 15 December in the Kock synagogue. Verbal permission for the wedding was given by David Goldstein and Wolf Gutman. The newlyweds did not sign any prenuptial agreement.
This certificate is hereby issued by Franciszek Kierglewicz, person in charge of Civil Records, after reading it out to the witnesses."

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

Joe Goodman's Sister Hindel
Beverly Deveaugh told me that Jennie Goodman said that "Hindel was her favorite." Hindel was Annie'a nonidentical twin, so would have been 17 when Annie, Esther, Joe & Jennie all emigrated, all using the surname Goodman. Annie stayed in England, married Lewis Finkelstein. Esther, Joe, and Jennie moved on to Canada where Esther married Sam Persovsky. Evidently Hindel stayed in Warsaw. What became of her?
