The Canadian Mummes

      We have been fortunate to have Mark Mumme of British Columbia to participate in the MyFamily site. He owns a dental lab in Canada Falcon Dental. He is the President. Mark lived in Germany for a while with his parents. His mother, Ursula lives in Germany. Kay Yamanaka, his sister, also lives in Canada. His sister, Tanyana lives in Germany. Mark's father, Juergen Mumme, died July 2001.

      Juergen Mumme has provided the following information on his family:

      Our line of ancestors goes back with a family crest to a Reiner Mumme who wasa recorded member of the "Deutsch Orden." And he was a "Vogt" (Govenor) at Jerwen (a town). He died in 1330. The Mumme line is related to Christian Mumme who founded the Mumme Brewery in Braunschweig, Germany in 1492. The brewery still exists and makes Braunschweiger Mumme Beer.

      The complete research was done by Fritz Mumme, a brother to Juergen's father, Heinrich Mumme around 1935. All of his records were lost when his house burned down about 1950.
