financiers were stationed in key locations, -- and at the head of
international financing around the world stood the Rothschilds

under the sign of a red shield, from which the name Rothschild,
German language for red shield, evolved. Rothschild became their
adopted and official family name. The business was located on
Judenstrasse, quite literally "Jew Street" in a ghetto in Frankfurt,
numbering about 550 families.
Mayer Amschel (Rothschild) was born in 1743. The
family had been in Frankfurt for generations, indeed there is a
record in the British Museum that they dated back to the
beginning of the 16 th century. By the 18 th century they were quite
a large group.
I identified twenty antecedents of Mayer Amschel, the
eldest of three sons whose parents were in the business of dealing
in money, both buying and selling, in which he assisted from the
age of ten. The small business was really a
