Blair (2001) traces the ancestry of Frederick Trump to 17th-century Kallstadt in the German Palatinate. An itinerant lawyer called Hanns Drumpf is recorded there for 1608. In the late 17th century, one Johan Philip Trump was a winegrower in Kallstadt and a member of the local governing class.[1] Frederick Trump (previously called Friedrich Trump) was the son of Johannes Trump by his marriage to Katharina Kober, and was born in 1869 in Kallstadt, at the time part of the Kingdom of Bavaria. He emigrated to New York in 1885.
