Welcome to the "K" web site!!

This is the Dutch Krumanaker line.  Siblings,  Anthony, Theodora Maria, Peter, and John,       settled in Brown Co. Wisconsin around 1868.   I have no information on John; contact me for   email addresses of a family descendant from the other siblings.  They have this line back to    1600 in Holland.

Check out Steve's site for his ancestors.   He says his family came from Germany and they     lived on Long Island, N.Y.  Click on the name link to the left to go there.

I would like this site to show as many different K. immigrants as I can find.  If you have a Krumenacker (or some such spelling) in your ancestry, please write to me.  If you are descended from one of the above mentioned K families, I would like to hear from you; I do have more information on some of these lines.   ADDITIONS, CORRECTIONS and NEW INFORMATION is appreciated.   Contact me for further information on any of these lines, or to get contact information on a descendant.                     Good hunting, Janet

The name Krumenacker and it's many spelling variations dates back to at least 1600 in Switzerland.   In the mid 1600's, one Jean (aka Hans) Krummenacher immigated, after the peasant rebellion, to what is now France.   Some Krummenacher family members remained in Switzerland.  The village of Guntzviller, Department Moselle, France was rebuilt around a glass factory, by Jacques Krummenacker, a descendant of Hans.   Several in the family were master glassmakers; many others were farmers.  The people in that village retained the German language for over 100 years even though they were in France.   Guntzviller was 90% Krumenackers at one point in time.  Kromenackers have served as mayor of the village many times.   In the late 1700's and early 1800's another migration occurred with Krumenackers moving to Hungary, the United States and other places.  The spelling changed, depending on who was writing the name.   My immigrant's name was spelled Krumanocker on his tombstone.  At one time I thought that all Krumenackers could be traced to this family in Switzerland; I have since found a branch of Dutch Kromenakers that also dates back to 1600 in Holland. Are these two separate families that chose the same surname, or the same family?   In both places, the name means the same thing, Crooked acre!!     Where ever they came from, all of the below mentioned members of the Krumenacker family immigrated to the United States, and their families spread throughout the land.

Joseph married Marie Shagene in Canada and settled in Sanilac Co. Michigan prior to 1870.

Michael settled in Philadelphia prior to 1880, and ran a bottling business.  (His nephew Michael Victor immigrated in 1907, via Ellis Island, and settled in Philadelplhia also.)   Michael was the nephew of Nicholas K. of Long Island, N.Y.

Anthony settled in Huntington Co. Indiana; died there in 1874.  His wife was Magdalina Elenora Friedmann.   He, too,  was the cousin to Joseph of Cambria Co. Pennsylvania.

Ludivici (AKA Louis) lived around Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania in the late 1800's.   His wife was Maria Elizabeth Texter.  We need more family information on this line.

Brothers Leon and Hilaire immigrated thru Ellis Island in 1914 and 1921;  They settled in Chicago, Illinois.  Their family came from Frohmuhl, France.

I am still working on this line that settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from Budapest, Hungary, about 1910.
