Census Sunday
Darling-Huber-Trumpi
In continuing my research on the Trumpi line I realized there weren’t too many Trumpi’s that came to the United States. So, I thought I’d broaden my understanding of the Trumpi family line in hopes that eventually I would discover a connection of these other Trumpi’s and my wife’s Trumpi line in Switzerland. Additionally, this process will broaden my tree allowing for better understanding of DNA Matches. First I looked at the Census Records.
Trumpi by the Censuses

Future Trumpi Activities
I am particularly interested in the Trumpi’s that were born in Switzerland. So, I will look closer at each of them. That includes:
- Barbara Trumpi, b. 1893.
- Fred Trumpi, b. 1870.
- Kate Trumpi, b. 1857.
- John Trumpi, b. 1863.
- Jacob Trumpi, b. 1860/61.
- Frederick Trumpi, b. Mar 1848
- Thomas Trumpi, b. 1842.
- Jacob Trumpi, b. 1839.
- Fred Trumpi, b. 1813.
I may take a look at the children of those individuals. Sometimes the birth and/or Marriage records indicate the birthplace of the individual’s parent. First on that group is Frederick/Fred, born in 1885/86. One of the Census records indicated he was born in Switzerland, although the other ones indicate he was born in Maryland.
There were three Trumpi’s that I not very interested in. Frank was born in Italy, Gabriel in Germany, and George in Lithuania. None of these appeared to have any connection to the Swiss Trumpi’s, so I’ll ignore them for now.

Hi Don,
[…] My grandfather Fridolin (Fred) Trumpi settled there in 1894. The name became Truempi in this country.
Fridolin was from Ennetbuhls Glarus. There are many, many people with the name Trumpi and Trumpy in Glarus, many in Ennenda Glarus. I was very surprised to learn that the name is so prevalent in Switzerland (mainly in Glarus).
My father’s name is Fred (Fredie) on a census record. He was born in 1910 (not 1911). My father lived in Minnesota his entire life. I don’t know of a relationship between my grandfather Fridolin and the given names you mention. (But, it’s possible.)
You will find the name Truempi and Trumpy in Minnesota. My brother Dennis Truempi founded Trumpy Homes; his son Scott Truempi now runs Trumpy Homes. The Truempi people in Minnesota are my close relatives. I hope this helps.
