The first critical point is that NOT all Goldschmidts are related. Goldschmidt was / is a common name. This particular family were all Levim (that is from the Jewish tribe of Levi) This is distinguished by the  role in the Jewish religious / synagogue community as Levim. They are distinguished by the name Ha Levi at the end of their Hebrew name.

The Goldschmidt Family is extensive, there are many thousand descendants today (2003) who can trace their lineage / or are descended from Baruch Daniel Samuel GOLDSCHMIDT-STUCHERT  1575 - 1642 Witzenhausen Hessen Germany where he was the head of the Jewish community

Unfortunately a fire swept through the Judengasse in Frankfurt in the mid 19th century destroying many of the records so many of those connections have been lost.

The Goldschmidt family in this genealogy originated in Frankfurt, and who were expelled with the rest the Jews of Frankfurt am Main  in 1612 . They went to Hameln, Cassel, Stadthagen, Witzenhausen, Buckeburg, etc. and in later years were found in Altona-Hamburg,Oldenburg, Emden and elsewhere in NW Germany and as well as in Amsterdam, Copenhagen and in later centuries in France, England and around the world..

Their names became Hamelin-Goldschmidt Hameln or Goldschmidt-Hameln, Cassel or Cassel-Goldschmidt or Goldschmidt-Cassel, Goldschmidt-Stadthagen, Oldenberg or Oldenberg-Goldschmidt, Goldsmid, Goldsmut, and Goldsmith.
