Thread Name: Where was Bert Jansch Born?
Subject: RE: BS: Where was Bert Jansch Born?
The name came from Hamburg, Germany, when Bert's ancestors Johann-Christian Wilhaelm Jansch and his wife Wilhelmina came to live in Scotland somtime in the late 19th cenrury. The family, including Bert, pronounce it "Janch" as opposed to "Yanch".
