Fun facts and such?<br /><br />If you could email to me (bobg AT radix DOT net) more detailed genealogical information (gedcom, scanned info, ...) that'd be great too. I have heard of a book by ?Clinton Krumbein early 1900s that had documented all the descendants of Leonhart to that point. If you have a copy of that, I'd love to borrow it.Robert Grumbinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783453972811796911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337555368793819627.post-67192176298906291112010-02-17T21:59:48.136-05:002010-02-17T21:59:48.136-05:00Hello to all the Grumbines!

I live in Pennsylvania and the reunion is held at the LItitz Springs Park every year. I went for many years as a child and also as a young adult. I haven;t been in several years but I have the old reunion books with records in my possession. The records include the old Grumbine Reunion song, the reunion tags everyone wore to identify which branch of the family tree they descended from and fun facts and records. I have the geneaological records from Leornard down to me with many many branches. My aunt is very heavily into the gen. thing,so I have been a fortunate recipient of many many records.

The 3 I did get cards for (and I went one year) were in Lititz (Lititz Falls?). Near Schaefferstown at any rate.<br /><br />n.b. for the non-Grumbine/Krumbein/Crumbine/... folks: Leonhart landed in the new world in Schaefferstown, PA, 30 September 1754. Hadn't thought about it, but we're now past the 250th anniversary. Should have had a big 'do' 5 years ago :-) Oh well.

I can definitely confirm that you are correct about my great-grandfather being Arthur Grumbine. Pretty cool stuff. BTW, I've started reading your blog, and as Darth Vader would say, "Most impressive".<br />I especially like its accessibility, which I have found exceedingly difficult in my own discourses with less academically-minded individuals on the subject of more complex/abstract concepts.The Smokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889432439099271017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337555368793819627.post-38714588248449824072009-08-07T08:57:05.036-04:002009-08-07T08:57:05.036-04:00Thanks for the addition.

One thing they had was a surprisingly thorough genealogy, including professions. I was expecting a fair number of farmers because, particularly once you're back much, that's what most people were. Instead, as you note, many small business people. That including back to Leonhart Krumbein, who was a leather worker. <br /><br />Also looks like you and I are related through my great-grandfather, and your great-great grandfather, Eugene Edgar Grumbine. I believe that your Arthur (b. 1924) is the son of Arthur (b. 1905), son of Eugene (b. 1874). I think that's 3rd cousins once removed.<br /><br />If you have mailable (physical or electronic) info from your grandfather's researches, please do contact me at my email address (bobg at radix dot net).Robert Grumbinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783453972811796911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337555368793819627.post-4974617014398946692009-08-06T17:30:01.759-04:002009-08-06T17:30:01.759-04:00As a California Grumbine whose grandfather, Arthur...As a California Grumbine whose grandfather, Arthur Grumbine (b. 1924, d. 2005), did quite a bit of geneology research himself (and got in contact with some of the Pennsylvania Grumbines to do it) I'm pretty sure, from what I've read, that we're all descended from Leonard/Leonhart Krumbein. Or to speak properly, that he (my grandfather) discovered no evidence of Grumbines that weren't descended from Leonard. Oakden Wolf's numbers are actually really close to accurate, at least regarding the California Grumbines (my grandfather had 7 sons (and 5 daughters)- the sons alone have about 80 kids/grandkids - at least 50 still bearing the name Grumbine (including Grumbines-by-marriage)). As far as scientists go, one of my uncles (Steven) is a chemist (though not published, as far as I know), and one is a published DPM (Nicholas). About half of those 30+ have at least one degree (with most of those degrees being 4-yr). It seems that medicine and entrepreneurial pursuits are more the tendency for our branch, though. We have a handful of nurses, many successful small business owners (2 of them in medical-related manufacturing), and a seemingly significant proportion of academics (Medieval History, Classic Architecture, Sociology, Philosophy, Theology, etc). I find myself personally attracted to entrepreneurial pursuits, though I love the sciences (I wrote my Thesis on a comparison of the scientific methods of Francis Bacon and Karl Popper, particularly examining Popper's criteria of falsifiability in the demarcation of the sciences).<br /><br />Hope this has been of some help. Cheers, and good luck!The Smokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889432439099271017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337555368793819627.post-9806610850130497962009-05-13T00:10:00.000-04:002009-05-13T00:10:00.000-04:00Another possibility would be Zabasearch.

I actually tried this out on Grumbines, and though I only tried several states (and you have to weed for duplicates), the results had a pretty interesting geographic distribution. Maryland has 191 listings. Pennsylvania has so many that it required me to narrow the search; if you type in a city like Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, that provides all of the Pennsylvania listings, which total 344 (lots of duplicates in that, though). New York has 4. California has 82. Minnesota has none, likewise for Wisconsin, Iowa, and Nebraska, while Kansas has 1, Illinois 8, and Indiana 3. Arizona has 17. Georgia has 7, Florida has 35. <br /><br />Then I tried Google and found this:<br /><br />http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Grumbine-family-history.ashx<br /><br />which gives the 1920 census distribution of Grumbine families. Turns out that my cursory Zabasearching was representative (the Quaker state is indeed Grumbine Base Camp), perhaps not catching recent migrations to the Sun Belt.Oakden Wolfhttp://tugpullpushstop.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337555368793819627.post-74410115767208188542009-05-12T15:37:00.000-04:002009-05-12T15:37:00.000-04:00You could try here, although you'd have to go stat...You could try <A HREF="http://www.intelius.com/" REL="nofollow">here</A>, although you'd have to go state by state. The People Search produces all of the adult Grumbines whom I personally know, although one is duplicated and one is filed in a slightly-wrong state. It apparently searches public records, which in theory should catch most adults (with some errors). You'd probably want to leave children out anyway, given that they can't be scientists yet, your niece's work notwithstanding.<br /><br />I wouldn't trust it to be 100% accurate, but I'd think a public records search should give you an adequate order-of-magnitude estimate.quasarpulsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762550806982089851noreply@blogger.com
