There are Wessels and Hermans in this familt. I haven't been able to link them to another Krallman family. Originally - from the 15th century on - there were three families of that name:in Borsum, in Hilter and in Krall near Steinbild. Krall still is farm with three houses for personel and the name of all three families was derived from that "hamlet". If you could manage two find two more generations, I could be of help. So the name Krallman(n) means: "someone living in or coming from Krall." René Remkes
