Hello world. I live in Australia. I have this surname & very very little knowledge of it's origins. My great great grand dad's family, Jewish, came from Kirovograd (Elizabethgrad). He left his native land when his family were killed in a podgrom early this century (moved to London & then New Zealand). I believe my surname mean's "Black Hill". I am interested in the meanings & origins of my surname. Thanks for reading thus far. Hope you can be of help.
