    1. [SWITZ] Pronunciation of the surname ROTH
    2. Mark E. Shaffer
    3. I am wondering if someone can help me with the pronunciation of the surname ROTH. My ancestors were German speaking. They emigrated from Zell, Canton Lucerne, Switzerland, about 1820. I have always pronounced the name "rawth," but have reason to believe they may have pronounced it "rowth." Can anyone tell me how it is pronounced in this region, today and/or in 1820? Thank you. Mark
