What is the origin of our name FLESCH?
To be a Flesch first you have to born as a human with no name whatsoever. Our first name is a baby-child. Than we receive first name that we are not aware until someone call us repeatedly. At the age of 4-5 years, we start to understand that we have another name namely our family name. Nevertheless, who care for that as long as we do what we want to do, or told.

At age 20-30, we begin to search and ask questions about our name and our origins. (At least most of us.) We want to know more and go deeper into details. Frequently asked questions that we ask our parents. Who are we? Where we come from? What is the origin of our Flesch family name.
If parents have any information they explains to us. If not, they usually answer, I do not know exactly. They say that their knowledge goes back to maybe two or three generations in the past.
However, even that does not satisfy us, and we continue to dig deep as we can. It is possible to examine only the early 19th century. Who married whom. What was the name of the grandfather and great-grandmother. Where they lived, what is the name of the city where they lived, where they came from, and so on. Besides, this is it. Can we live with those answers?
The answer is dual. Some yes, some do not.
But everyone wants to find out more about the name of Flesch. Trying to determine the location of where they come from and find more relatives as possible, and elsewhere.
In the case someone find proof of his or her relatives linked through clean lines what than? You may also arrange visits to the other. If so what will happen later. They will meet and talk. What will be the subject of conversation? Of course, cleaning dust from ambiguous evidence about the past of their families. It will be all. Besides, how long someone can talk about this topic? Certainly will switch to the live chat today. In addition, we will come to my place, the question. Can we do something about it? Can we satisfy ourselves with our joint projects, or we really need a DNA test to prove our common origin and descent?
At the end when I call all Flesch some relatives ask what we are cousins. The answer is simple. We all have the same name. Why is this so?
There are two (as always) answers.
Flesch did not change the name that comes from three letters in Hebrew, F (Pe, Fe p) L ( l lamed) SH (shin c), the numeric value 80 30 300 or number 5. This means the territory of Palestine. At the time of King David, lived in this area members of his tribe. In this case, our direct origin dates back to the tribe of Judah.
B) The second answer remains the possibility that someone took that name in the 14th century because it was a time when most Jewish families exchanged, not only last, but personal names in order to survive in hostile environments in the countries where they lived. Some are violently and involuntarily coverted to the Christianity, and completely lost any connection or knowledge of Judaism.
Before arriving in Central Europe (Alcase) most Jewish families lived in the Iberian peninsula (Hispania, which consists of modern Portugal and Spain) from the earliest times. From there they moved to Western Europe. In 1349, Jews were accused of poisoning wells with Alsace Plague (disease). On February 14th, Saint Valentine's day, thousands of Jews were massacred in a pogrom Strasbourg. Jews were subsequently forbidden to settle in and be reminded every night at 10 o'clock in the bell of the Cathedral and the Municipal Gazette blows "Grüselhorn" go. Alsatian Jews settled in the neighboring villages and small towns, where many of them became cloth merchants (Schmatteshendler ") or cattle traders (Behemeshendler). Some of them have settled in Rappoltsweiler, Alcase (now Ribeauvillé. 47 miles south of Strasbourg) There is a record that a young family Flesch has played a major role in the early history of the region and gave a great contribution to the development of cottage medieval society.
As they settled in Rappoltsweiler, Alcase (now Ribeauvillé.) Flesch present name in French-speaking became De La Fleche (arrow) (the name comes from a village in France) and in German in Swabia Flesch. (Meat) So, most Flesch family lived in the same area in Rappoltsweiler until end of 14 century, and begging from 15 century. One part of the family moved from there to the eastward to Hungary, Romania and Serbia. Some on the north to the Czech Republic and Germany. Some emigrated to North America and settled in present-day United States. Some have gone to Latin America, and some of the villages in France, La Flashe in Canada, where they established the modern Montreal.
When someone is now trying to discover the history, facts are not sufficiently clear mainly because they are inadequate and vague.
So, what can we do about it? Accurate evidence? The answer is, no. What else remains? Something that only remains for centuries and it's name. Bottom line is that every man eventually left his name and two dates carved on his tombstone. That is all.
However, what is important is, his descendants remain. We. Our name connects us. Flesch (Jews or those who converted to Christians). And that's what makes us family. It is sufficient basis for the gathering of all holders of that name.
