User-submitted Reference

The surname Fromm means "pious" in german.

An Austrian citizen named Hans Johann Fromm left the city of Graz during the beginning of World War II and traveled to America. He traveled to Mexico and then Guatemala with well-known banana plantation owners-the Garcías-after leaving a "concentration camp" in the US where he was placed due to his Austrian nationality. He then later traveled to Honduras, where he met his wife in Yoro, and together they bore four children: Juan, Manuel, Matilde and Roberto.

These four bore children, who are now the only Fromm family members living in Honduras.
