General Notes

REFN: 8049AN
It is the original name that began the Mushrush families. My Moscheroush
fami ly was from Germany and one geneologist traced the family name to
Spanish imm igrants to Germany in the 17th century or there abouts which
makes it suspici ously sound like Spanish Jews called Conversos who were
forced by the Spanish Inquisition to convert to Roman Catholicism or die.
Many did die and many co nverted and many left.
I checked with two German language professors if Mosche roush could be a
German name. Not to their knowledge, they said, adding that the name
looked "Jewish" to them which it probably is as it means "Moses' hea d" or
"Head of Moses" or "Moses first" or "First of Moses" in its translation
to Hebrew.
