The link will open in a new window. There are two ways in which you can interact with the genealogy:
- You can manually browse by clicking and dragging with your mouse to move around the area of the tree.
- You can search by typing (e.g. Nathan) into the box that appears at the top of the genealogy. Matching searching results will be returned in a list. You can then click on any of the entries and the tree will automatically move to that person.
Once at an entry on the tree, you can view more detail about that person by clicking on their box. You can then automatically traverse across to other people in the tree by clicking on their generation/position number (e.g. 3.1). This number denotes generation (top-to-bottom) and position (left-to-right) within the tree. For example, 3.1 means 3rd generation (as measured from Mayer Amschel) and 1st position chronologically within that generation.
Rothschild ancestry
The most detailed published genealogy of the Rothschild banking family is Le Sang des Rothschild by Joseph Valynseele and Henri Mars (Paris: ICC Editions, 2004). 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.
