Surnames: Crumrine Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xdQ.2ACIB/82 Message Board Post: If anyone could assist further, what kind of culture was and is prevelant in the area of Jungholtzhausen where the Krumrein name is first found? What is/was their religion, what do the local people look like, how did they dress, what was/is the culture like, etc. Also, is the name thought to have originated in the 1500's or much earlier; or is that just the first Krumrein that appears on record? If there are earlier Krumrein's mentioned somewhere, what is the earliest mention? Is there a family motto or coat of arms or anything distinct about the early origins of the family? Thanks for the help so far, any more would be much appreciated.
