Mel Shrum Page
Established in 2004
Welcome to the Mel Shrum Page. I strive to provide information on the Schramm and
Shrum family history and genealogy, in a morally acceptable format.
The surname Shrum, according to the 1990 census, compromises 0.002% of
the population; ranking 6104 in surname prevalence. If you search for "Shrum" on
Yahoo!, you will get the top 20 web search results out of about 24,900
hits!
You can access my complete Gedcom file online on the
Shrum Family Tree page link.
Please realize that this work
may not include your Shrum relatives, size is of concern, so the
majority of information is available on the GEDCOM file available here.
Link for entire Legacy 5.0 GEDCOM file.(360 kb 5.5 GEDCOM
file) I've been asked; "Which of the coat of arms are correct?" The
answer is: both are "correct", however, the Schramm coat of arms with the owl on
the green mound is the first, and oldest version. The Shrum coat of arms with
the blue elephant trunks above the crest is one of the newest versions.
Personally, I prefer the Schramm coat of arms.
Here is where you can see what's been changed or added recently,
without having to scan the entire web site. 03/02/2004: I have added a link on the Shrum Family Tree page that
will download the entire 5.5 360 kb GEDCOM file.
