"CROMB. Alexander Crom (Cromy, or Crome) had his office of tochdoreschip (tochoderatus) annulled, 1477 (SCM., rv, p. 135). A bond of manrent was given by Alexander Crome of Inuerernane in 1503 binding himself to become a 'lele trew mane and seruande' to the earl of Huntly (SCM., rv, p. 192). He is probably Alexander Crom Makalonnen, whose office of tochdoreship was ordered to be rendered to the kin of Donald Crum Me Cownane in 1532 (Trials, n). Donald Crome Me Ranald vane had a precept of remission in 1542 (RSS., 11, 4454). John Croume appears in Pykertoune of Corstoune, 1610, and Margaret Cromb in Blackburne, 1666 (Brechin). Payment made to Patrick Crome in Fife, 1684 (PSAS., LTV, p. 239). Cromb, Crombie, and Crommie are common names in Glenlivet. See under CRUM. "(The surnames of Scotland.

DNA
Sometimes you can run into a brick wall in your tree and you just don't have enough evidence to make that next step back in time. A DNA test can sometimes help to make a link to a particular family name if you find you share common DNA with people who have the same or similar surnames as each other. If you are lucky then you may get a match within a few generations and discover some Cromb ancestors. Additionally, the modern DNA test can give you a breakdown of your ethnic mix - you may be surprised at the results!
