 Great Uncles on Mother's side
From the time I was with him in Goldingen I only remember the dinner table with the many, many girls; oddly enough they all became dentists.
They had a beautiful house in Goldingen with a huge orchard, and it was said of the aunt that she made the workers sing songs during the harvest so they would not snack on the fruit.
That happened because the families of the great-uncle were mostly very wealthy, and looked down on the generation of my parents who already found the fight for existence much more difficult, as if they were poor relations.

 Family and Grandparernts
The brothers of grandfather: Israel in Windau, and Abraham in Mitau; the sister of grandmother Agnes (Nese) married to a Goldingen in Libau; the brothers of my grandmother Gutta: Fanny, Roche, and Therese (4-5); and the brothers of my grandmother Gutta: Jacob and Laser Herzenberg in Goldingen.
It was either by ship to Windau, and from there by "axe" [axle, wheeled vehicle] over Pilten, Goldingen,, Hasenpoth, back to Libau; or direct by "axe" to the home towns of our relatives.
All these trips are quite unclear in my memory due to the temporal distance; but I do know that I was received everywhere with open arms, that all remembered my late mother with tears in their eyes, that I was thoroughly spoiled.

 The Zimblers of Goldingen
I can trace my Zimbler roots back to my Great Great Great Great Grandfather Abraham Zimbler who was born in Goldingen in circa 1775 and who died there in 1827.
There are two family "legends" both of which seem to have at least some degree of truth to them.
When I was out there, I looked in the Kuldiga telephone directory and there were dozens of (presumably non-Jewish) Jakobsen families in what is a very small town.

 Goldingen Jewish Families 1842
The list below, transcribed from the 1842 family register in the State Historical Archives in Riga, shows the heads of Jewish families then resident in Goldingen (Kuldiga).
The list was transcribed and donated by Martha Lev-Zion, who also included some additional names of LEVINSOHN and LIEBERTHAL residents and some of the more interesting comments recorded.
Using the names and patronymics of some of the older of the residents listed below, it may be possible to trace some of the families back to before they took surnames, with the aid of Martha's transcription of the 1799 Oklad for Goldingen.

 The Prussian-Lithuanian Frontier of 1242 - William Urban
The few castles there were too far back from the frontier to be of any use against the Lithuanians, but in 1242 the Teutonic Knights made plans to build a castle at Mitau on a site accessible by water.
This castle would dominate central Semgallia and protect the line of communication to Kurland, where a great castle was being built at Goldingen.
While some natives feared the Germans less than they hated their traditional enemy, the Lithuanians, and therefore cooperated willingly in frontier defense, others gave only reluctant help.

The first place of settlement for Jews in Kurland (Courland), in Western Latvia, was the district of Piltene, which for a time was subject directly to the king of Poland.
In the Duchy of Kurland itself, conditions for Jews were much harsher, but Jewish communities formed in Jelgava (Mitau), Kuldiga (Goldingen), Aizpute (Hasenpoth), Tukums, Bauska, and elsewhere. 
In the eighteenth century, the entire region of present-day Latvia became part of the Tsarist Empire.
