Bavaria, Germany is the ancestral home of the Baumberg family. The Baumberg surname evolved as a local name for a family that lived in any of several places called Bamberg. Examples include: the village which is part of the Earldom of Berg, North Rhineland, and was first recorded in 1296 as Boimberg; and the city of Bamberg, in northern Bavaria, which dates from the 11th century. These place names come from the Old High German boum, which became "baum, " meaning "tree," and berg or "mountain."

Migration of the Baumberg family
Thousands of German settlers came to North America between the mid-17th and mid-20th centuries. The hardships of the long voyage were balanced by the opportunity to escape poverty and religious persecution. The descendents of these settlers still populate the states of Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Illinois, and California. Many also live in Ontario and the prairie provinces of Canada. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Baumberg or a variant listed above: Carl Baumberger who arrived in Pennsylvania in 1747; Charles Bomberger who arrived in Pennsylvania in 1765; John Bomberger and Peter Bamberger both of whom arrived in Canada in 1831.
