From Drumpf to Trump: The 45th U.S. President’s Family Tree
As Donald Trump's sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, prepare to guard the president-elect's business interests after their father is sworn in, and daughter Ivanka moves to Washington as her husband steps into a White House role, CTVNews.ca takes a look at the 45th American president’s family tree.
Trump’s German and Scottish roots are undeniable, as is the fact that his last name can be traced back to the name Drumpf. What was hard to pinpoint was detail. Was his great-grandfather named Christian Johannes Drumpf or simply Johannes Drumpf? Which version of his grandfather’s last name — Drumpf, Trumpf, or Trump — should be used? Was his grandmother Elisabeth name spelled with an “s” or a “z”? These were some of the many questions that arose while researching his ancestry.
Ultimately, much of the information in the family tree below came from biographer Gwenda Blair’s book The Trumps: Three Generations of Builders and a President, a plethora of news stories on Trump’s ancestry, and from several genealogy databases maintained by individuals, communities, and even the Scottish government.
Trump - Y-DNA Classic Chart
For genealogy within the most recent fifteen generations, STR markers help define paternal lineages. Y-DNA STR markers change (mutate) often enough that most men who share the same STR results also share a recent paternal lineage. This page displays Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) STR results for the project. It uses the classic format. The columns display each project member's kit number, paternal ancestry information according to project settings, the paternal tree branch (haplogroup), and actual STR marker results. The color coding of STR marker names is explained here. In the haplogroups column, haplogroups in green are confirmed by SNP testing. Haplogroups in red are predicted. You may learn more about Y-DNA STRs on the Understanding Y-DNA STRs learning page.
