Robert Seal_1 Robert, I'm sure you told me before but is a smith the same as a blacksmith? Ernest Thode says Schmied means smith. If I remember rightly you said a smith works with horses.
Wikipedia: A blacksmith is a metalsmith who creates objects primarily from wrought iron or steel, but sometimes from other metals, by forging the metal, using tools to hammer, bend, and cut (cf. tinsmith). Blacksmiths produce objects such as gates, grilles, railings, light fixtures, furniture, sculpture, tools, agricultural implements, decorative and religious items, cooking utensils, and weapons. There was an historical opposition between the heavy work of the blacksmith and the more delicate operation of a whitesmith, who usually worked in gold, silver, pewter, or the finishing steps of fine steel
Thank you for the translation!!!!!! KG

You're welcome, Kent.
No, a smith is someone who works with metals, and is not necessarily a blacksmith. However when people say "smith" they are often referring to a blacksmith.
See the following article about metalsmiths from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalsmith and note the variety of types of smiths.
If I had a record that said the person's occupation was smith, I would leave it at that and wouldn't attempt to define it further without further evidence.
