The family descends from Martin Frumerie, who came to Sweden with Louis de Geer in 1635.
He signed a contract with Louis de Geer on 19 July 1635, to become the school teacher and reformed preacher of Finspång forge.
Since he signed the contract as Frumerie, this is considered the correct form by the Swedish branch of the family.
[4] Martin's son David Frumerie (1641–1677) was a painter and gilder working at Drottningholm Palace.
He was the father of Johan Frumerie (died 1756), secretary of the Admiralty in Karlskrona.
