When my grandparents married, they joined together two uncommon names, Bumba and Zollinhofer. If your last name is the same as ours, you can almost guarantee that you are kin.My grandmother's last name of Zollinhofer has been traced back to the first Zollinhofers to step foot in America.They started out in Baltimore, and most of their ancestors are still in the area.The majority of those who have passed are buried in the Baltimore Cemetary.
Unfortunately, we don't know quite as much about the Bumba side of our family.My Great Grandfather, Andrew Bumba, was killed by a trolley car in Baltimore City when my grandfather was a youngster.With him, went the stories of our ancestry.We do know, however, that his ancestors originated in Bohemia, Czechoslovakia. Many of the Bumba family still lives in the Baltimore area. There is still so much to be added to our family tree.If you have any information to add, please email me.--Brandyn
