Donald Trump, Jr. is an American businessperson and reality television personality. He is the son of Ivana Trump (born Ivana Maria Zelníčková), a fashion designer, model, and author, and Donald Trump, a businessperson and television personality, who was the 45th President of the United States.

His paternal grandfather, Fred Trump, was a prominent real estate developer. His father, born in Queens, is of half German and half Scottish descent. His mother, born in Gottwaldov, Moravia, was Czech. His siblings are Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump, who work in business, and his half-siblings are Tiffany Trump and Barron Trump. Donald’s aunt, his father’s sister, Marryanne Trump Barry, was a prominent judge, who was a Senior Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, from June 30, 2011 to February 11, 2019. Donald’s great-uncle, his paternal grandfather’s brother, was John G. Trump (John George Trump), an electrical engineer, inventor, and physicist.

Donald has five children with his former wife, model Vanessa Trump. The two were married by Donald’s aunt Maryanne.

While it is sometimes stated that Donald’s great-grandfather was born under the surname Drumpf, this is not accurate. The family surname was simply Trump going back at least several generations.

Donald’s patrilineal line traces to Johann Paul Trump, who was born, c. 1727, and was from Bobenheim am Berg.

Donald’s paternal grandfather was Frederick Christ Trump (the son of Frederick/Friedrich/Friederich Trump and Elizabeth/Elisabeth/Elisabetha Christ). Donald’s grandfather Frederick was born in Woodhaven, Queens, New York, to German parents, from Kallstadt, Rhineland-Palatinate. Donald’s great-grandfather Friedrich was the son of Johannes Trump and Katharina/Katerina/Katherina Kober, who was born in Augsburg, Bavaria. Elizabeth was the daughter of Philipp Christ and Anna Maria/Marie Anthon.

Donald’s paternal grandmother was Mary Anne MacLeod (the daughter of Malcolm/Calum MacLeod and Mary Smith). Donald’s grandmother Mary Anne was Scottish, born in Tong, Stornoway, on the Isle of Lewis. She came to the U.S. around 1929, at the age of seventeen, and worked as a maid in New York. She became a U.S. citizen in 1942. Malcolm was the son of Alexander MacLeod and Ann/Anne/Annie MacLeod. Donald’s great-grandmother Mary was the daughter of Donald Smith and Mary Macaulay/Macauley.

Donald’s maternal grandfather was František Milan/Milos Zelníček (the son of Emanuel/Milos Zelníček and Kateřina Kupcová/Kopecká). Donald’s grandfather Milos was born in Zlin, Zlín District, Zlin Region. Emanuel was the son of Jan Zelníček and Teresia/Teresie Hutařová. Katerina was the daughter of Antonín Kopecký and Antonie Mastná.

Donald’s maternal grandmother was Marie/Maria Francová (the daughter of Václav Franc and Anna Procinger/Procingrová). Marie was born in Velké Pavlovice/Groß Pawlowitz, Břeclav, Moravia. Václav was the son of Martin Franc and Magdalena Bradová. Anna was the daughter of Josef Pocingr/Procingr and Marie Hládková/Hládeková. Ivana had said that her mother Marie was Austrian. This does not appear to have been accurate.
