Where did the Scottish Drumm family come from? What is the Scottish Drumm family crest and coat of arms? When did the Drumm family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Drumm family history?

The chronicles of the Drumm family reach back into Scottish history to an ancient tribe known as the Picts. The ancestors of the Drumm family lived on the lands of Drum, in the parish of Drumoak in Aberdeenshire where the name can be found since very early times.

When the first dictionaries were invented in the last few hundred years, spelling gradually became standardized. Before that time, scribes spelled according to sound. Names were often recorded under different spelling variations every time they were written. Drumm has been written Drum, Drumm and others.

First found in Aberdeenshire, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

The crossing to North America did not seem so great in comparison with the hardships many Scots endured at home. It was long, expensive, and cramped, but also rewarding. North America offered land and the chance for settlers to prove themselves in a new place. And many did prove themselves as they fought to forge a new nation in the American War of Independence. The ancestors of those Scots can now experience much of their once-lost heritage through the Clan societies and highland games that have sprung up across North America in the last century. A search of immigration and passenger lists revealed many important, early immigrants to North America bearing the name of Drumm:
