Re: Rothshild/Rotschild? Blanchard? Schoonbeek? Oostveen?
in reply to a message by Sean Foglai
Rothshild comes from german: Roth=red and Schield=shield.
Outside his shop in Frankfurt the founder of the Rothschield Empire
used to have as emblem a red shield.
So when the Jews was obliged to adopt a surname he chose Rothschield.
