Carlton Brooks:

My great grandfather Harry Goldman (Hirsch Tzerlin) came to the US on a purchased passport. His brother Wolf also used the surname Goldman. I have been trying to prove if Wolf came to the US first, then went back, then came again after Harry.

(If we understand the circumstances properly, the name Goldman came from the passport.)
