Author: SANDYC Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.cronk/278.2.2.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My husband descends from Johann Adam Krank of Wertheim, Germany, who immigrated to the USA in 1752. Over the years, some of the family changed the surname to Cronk, one line changed to Kronk, and another to Crunk. A cousin who lives in Germany has researched the family and has not found any indication of a Jewish connection. I would be interested in hearing from from you as we have a DNA project going for the Cronk, Kronk, Krank Kranck surname.
