Wiki: "Frederick Trump (born Friedrich Trump; March 14, 1869 – May 27, 1918) was a German-born American businessman. He made his fortune operating boom-town restaurants and boarding houses in the region of Seattle and in the Klondike Gold Rush. He later returned to Germany and married, but then was forced to leave his homeland and came back to the United States.
He was the father of Fred and John G. Trump, and grandfather of businessman and the President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump.
Friedrich Trump was born in Kallstadt, Palatinate, then part of the Kingdom of Bavaria, to Christian Johannes Trump and Katharina Kober. Like everyone else in Kallstadt, the Trump family were Lutherans. Trump’s earliest known ancestor, the lawyer Hanns Drumpf, first settled in Kallstadt in 1608. The Palatinate, then a relatively impoverished region, is known for its viticulture since the Roman Empire. After the devastation during the Thirty Years' War, the family had the opportunity to become vignerons."
