Here is an excellent article on the Rothschilds;

Here is Mayer Bauer's (Rothschild) famous quote,

"Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes her laws"

These were his son;

"* Amschel Mayer Rothschild (1773-1855) - Frankfurt
* Salomon Mayer Rothschild (1774-1855) - Vienna
* Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777-1836) - London
* Calmann Mayer Rothschild (1788-1855) - Naples
* James Mayer Rothschild (1792-1868) - Paris"

This article did not talk about the negative reputation of the Rothschild family possibly because it is from the Israel-Times, but the Rothschilds have been the victims of anti-Jewish groups for a long time. They have been accuse of currency manipulation on behalf of Jews, they have been accused of buying politicians to help promote Zionism, and a lot of other things that anti-Jewish groups say.
I remember reading a pamphlet that said that they were the shadowy backers of the Vietnam war.

Where are they now?

"The company does most of its business as an M&A advisor. According to the Dealogic league tables it has a strong position in Paris and London but remains a relatively weak player in New York City. The group’s ranking is number 4 among European advisers (by announced mergers and acquisitions year-to-date October 2004) with 160 deals with a value of $137.08 billion, and globally as number 9 with 197 deals with a value of $150.50 billion. Goldman Sachs leads in both Europe and globally with 258 deals worth $448.98 billion."
