The Rothschild Family Tree
The Rothschild family featured on this website is descended through the male line from Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812) who was born in Frankfurt, Germany. His five sons established a network of banks across Europe. To search for names on the Rothschild family tree please visit The Rothschild Geneaology »
The most recently published detailed genealogy of the Rothschild banking family is Le Sang des Rothschild by Joseph Valynseele and Henri Mars (Paris: ICC Editions, 2004. 549pp.) and there is also a family tree reproduced in The World's Banker: the history of the house of Rothschild by Niall Ferguson (London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1998. 1309pp.)
Rothschild was by no means a unique name and there were many other families called 'Rothschild' originating in Frankfurt and many other unrelated families bearing the name 'Rothschild' exist around the world.
