ArchivesRe: Rothshild/Rotschild? Blanchard? Schoonbeek? Oostveen?
in reply to a message by Daniel B.
Blanchard is the 62nd French surname.
It comes probably from an old first name: "blank",brilliant and "hard"
hard.
There is also another possibility: the surname comes from a colour of
skin "white" but it is a diminutif with a negative meaning
