Family Branches

Great Eight branches

Feidt

The family name has come down to us as Feidt, though Veitel Seckel adopted the name Rothschild in 1755. Moritz Feidt established the family department store business in Berlin. His son Gerhard married outside the Jewish faith but the family was nonetheless persecuted by the Nazi regime. Family members fled to England in the late 1930s, where they later anglicized the surname as Fyte.
