I can't help you with Trampe, but I can tell you that Spurgeon is not Dutch, and probably not Danish either! I hope that helps!~Lully Lulla~

Spurgeon IS Dutch - read onHave records from the 1550's of families leaving Holland to escape, including 5 complete families known as Spurgeon.
This name is unknown in East Anglia/ Britain before this time....

but it doesn't sound Dutch at all! It looks extremely undutch. I've never heard of it in my life! Are you sure? Couldn't they have come from somewhere else originally?~Lully Lulla~

Sorry, but it seems hard to find out more:TRAMPE:
The place Trampe is in Brandenburg, about 30 km north east of Berlin.
This is the phone number of the municipal bureau, in case you really want to know: 049-33451/722
The surname TRAMPE can have a different derivation: "Trampel" is a word for a clumsy person.SPURGEON:
English (mainly East Anglia): unexplained.
