Family Origins and History

The oldest known records of the family are in Fautsbach, Germany.

Johann Christian Schramm, grandson of Andreas, moved to Betschdorf in the Alsace region of France, probably sometime in the first half of the 1780's. At that time, Betschdorf consisted of the two separate communities of Oberbetschdorf and Niederbetschdorf. The first record of the Schramm family in Betschdorf is the marriage record of Joh. Christian Schramm on October 16, 1786, at the Evangelical Church in Oberbetschdorf to Maria Salomea Holtzmann. The record states that the Schramm family came from Fautspach in Württemburg, and that both Christian, and his father Friederich, were carpenters.

In the 1830's, members of the Schramm family began leaving Betschdorf for America.
