Frederick Trump

Imagine a man named Frederick Trump, born a long, long time ago in a place called Germany. He was a businessman, which means he liked to start and run businesses to make money. He was also the grandpa of Donald Trump, who became a president of the United States! Frederick Trump was a very important person in his family's story.

When Frederick was just 16 years old, he hopped on a ship and sailed all the way across the ocean to America! That's like a super long car ride, but on a boat! He landed in America and started working. He was smart and looked for ways to make money, like buying and selling land.

Frederick heard about a big adventure called the Klondike Gold Rush, where people were looking for gold! He traveled to a cold place called the Yukon. There, he opened a restaurant and a place for miners to eat and have fun. He made a lot of money helping the gold seekers!

Frederick went back to Germany and got married. But guess what? He had forgotten to tell the government he was leaving, so they said he couldn't be a citizen anymore! So, he packed up his family and moved back to America. He worked as a barber and started buying buildings before he sadly passed away.
