Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xdQ.2ACIB/81 Message Board Post: My mother's maiden name is Crumrine, and I know it is of German origin, but I was wanting to know about the history of the name, like what it is supposed to mean in German, what part of Germany the name originates in, and the most ancient origin of the name. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
