Boruch and RawhouserBORUCH:http://www.ancestry.com/search/SurnamePage.aspx?sourcecode=13304&html=b&fn=&ln=boruch&submit.x=0&submit.y=0RAWHOUSER could well be German as ROHAUSER. This looks like a place-name, but what is a "raw house"? I have no idea, what else the first element could be derived from.
