Trump family

The German Verein für Computergenealogie traces the ancestry of Frederick Trump to 18th-century Bobenheim am Berg in the German Palatinate. From there, Johannes Trump (1789-1835) moved to the nearby village of Kallstadt. His son Johannes Christian Trump (1829-1877) married Katharina Kober from Wachenheim, and one of their children, Friedrich (later called Frederick), emigrated to New York in 1885.
