According to James M. Black, genealogist for
the Mormon Church, Salt Lake City and author of Families and Descents of
Golsan, Golson, Gholson, Gholston, Goldston, Golston, Etc., the Goldston (Golsan)
families likely descended from Ralph De Gulston (or Goldston), the
first family of whom record has been discovered, mentioned in the building
of Conway Castle in 1283.

I am working on this almost daily, so visit often and email me with any
comments. We would like to know more about you and your family so we
can maybe publish a Goldston Family newsletter 3 or 4 times a year to keep
other family members interested in family history.
This genealogy is a compilation of Goldston history primarily from five
family members:
Herbert J. Goldston, Sanford, NC,
James M. Black, LDS, Salt Lake City, Utah
Marci Goldston Kulesus, High Point, NC Kulesus@aol.com
Allan M. Goldston, Winston-Salem, NC, who did the typing and added
comments and questions.

Ola Neal, Maryland, who left copy of her history at the Goldston Library
where I photo-copied it.
Text in RED is written by Allan M. Goldston (born
1/4/1929) and is intended to clarify and substantiate the writings of the
family historians mentioned above.
Herbert's genealogy text is printed in BLACK. Since
Herbert did not have the advantage of a SPELL CHECKER, I believe many of the
names have been misspelled... so to do a refined search, use only the first
2 or 3 letters of the name. Please notify me by email of corrections needed
in names, dates, places and your comments, so I can update the genealogy.
Cut & Paste the changes into an email and send to:
agoldston@triad.rr.com.
The most complete genealogical history of the
Goldston Family I have found was written by Herbert J. Goldston, (b Nov. 6,
1897, d Aug 10, 1980), Sanford, NC. The document was distributed at the
Goldston Family Reunion in 1955 and updated in 1959. Herbert was the
surviving brother of the Goldston Brothers (Johnny & Herbert) Twin
Auctioneers, well known in the 30's & 40's for their showmanship and
auctioneering skills. His document is complete with family names spelled (or
miss-spelled) as he had written.
