The Trump family (pronounced "droomp" in German[1]) is a German and German-American family that is descended from Hanns Drumpf, a lawyer who settled in Kallstadt in modern Rhineland-Palatinate in 1608. The family has been resident in Kallstadt ever since, where many family members were winegrowers. An American branch of the family is descended from Frederick Trump, and is prominent in the fields of real estate, entertainment, business, and politics. Its most famous member is American President-elect Donald Trump. His immediate family will become the First Family of the United States on January 20, 2017. Other prominent family members are Fred Trump and John G. Trump.
History
The family's earliest known member, a lawyer called Hanns Drumpf, settled in Kallstadt in modern Rhineland-Palatinate in 1608. His son became a winegrower, as did many other descendants.
The Trump surname is on record there from the 17th century.[2] Johan Philip Trump had established himself as a winegrower in Kallstadt by the late 17th century.[3] Trump has said that he is "proud" of his German heritage, having served as grand marshal of the 1999 German-American Steuben Parade in New York City.[4][5]

In 1885 Friedrich Trump emigrated from Kallstadt to the United States at age 16. He anglicized his name to Frederick in 1892 when he became a U.S. citizen.[6] During the Alaska Gold Rush, he amassed a fortune by opening restaurants and hotels for gold seekers on their way to the region. After his death, his fortune was passed on to his wife and son. Frederick Trump was a second cousin of Henry J. Heinz, founder of H. J. Heinz Company. In 1902 he married Elisabeth Christ, who was born in 1880 and who died on June 6, 1966. She moved to the United States with him. Like her husband, she was a native of Kallstadt, born as the daughter of Philipp and Marie Christ. Philipp Christ was descended from Johannes Christ (1626–1688/9) of Flörsheim, Hesse.[7] Elizabeth Christ Trump was a descendant of organ builder Johann Michael Hartung (1708–1763) through her paternal grandmother Sabina Christ.[7] Friedrich Trump was the father of real estate developer Fred Trump (1905–1999) and of the physicist and inventor John G. Trump (1907–1985).
Fred Trump (1905–1999), born in New York, was one of the biggest real estate developers in New York City.[6][8] Using his fathers's heritance, Fred Trump and his mother Elizabeth founded Elizabeth Trump & Son. Donald Trump later renamed it The Trump Organization and served as its chairman and president until assuming the office of U.S. President.[9] Fred Trump married Mary MacLeod (1912–2000), a native of Tong, a small village near Stornoway, in the Western Isles of Scotland. She was the daughter of fisherman Malcolm Macleod and Mary Macleod (née Smith).[10] At age 17, she immigrated to the United States and started working as a maid in New York.[11] Fred and Mary met in New York and married in 1936, settling together in Queens. Mary became a U.S. citizen in 1942.[11][12][4][5] Fred Trump was the father of the businessman Donald Trump.
John G. Trump married Elora Sauerbrun (1913–1983), and they were the parents of John Gordon Trump (1938–2012).
