My name is André Scholberg. I am jewish, french and aged 66.My grandfather was born in Alsace, date unknown but probably in the 1870's, as he married in 1899.My father, born 1900, was not very talkative, so I do not know much beyond that, although I do plan to do some research. The name may have originally been Schulberg - there is a mountain named Schulberg in Alsace. It is easy for a non-german to mispell Schulberg to Scholberg, and although you will find Scholbergs in UK, BE, US, and my own family in FR, I have not found any in DE (Schulberg & Schöllberg can be found, though).If I manage to go back and find roots in Alsace, perhaps a connection to Aachen will come out... you never know.
