When searching for my mother's family in the ellis island records I was having no luck until I searched using allk variations of the name. I finally found Krimpelbein as "Krumpelbein" an easy stretch. I doubt my grandfather wrote the name on the manifest, but he came over on an English ship with an English crew and I can easily understand the mistranslation of "im" to "um". Thge church records he brought with hinm Listed his name as Krimpelbein. He later used the name Krimbelbein - why, no one alive knows. His brother also used Krimbelbein when he was living in Conway, PA but later used his original Krimpelbein when he moved to Wisconsin: why, no one alive knows. However the name was not changed at Ellis Island. ray All OUTGOING mail from this address has been scanned PRIOR to sending, by Norton AV--2000
