SCHWARZMANN Genealogy

The vast majority of Argentine Jews are descended from immigrants who arrived from Europe. These ashkenazic Jews migrated from small towns or shtetels of Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Germany, Romania or Ukraine, leaving behind most of their Jewish relatives. After two or three generations, those Jewish families lost track of their relatives, having been saved from the war, emigrated to other countries like USA, England or Australia.

Yes, and Rothschild is a German word meaning "Red Sign"; it's still a Jewish name.

Jews were prominent in Germany throughout the 19th and 20th centuries especially, and many changed their names to make them seem more German. I am aware Schwarzmann is German etymologically, but that does not mean it is not predominantly a Jewish surname. You are correct; most Jews in Germany throughout the periods I named had black hair. Not at all surprising. How many ethnic Germans would have called themselves or been called Schwarzmann, honestly?

The only Schwartzman I know is a jew. Though that's Schwartzman with just one "n", and not the correct German "Mann." So there are jews with that name, though of course it's of gentile origin. Though what kind of gentile is publishing books about marrying Finnish women with brown arms in the cover?
