hello,

I,m looking for ancestors. Mine familyname is often misspelled Ummethun, Ummethum, Immethun etc.. The source of our family is the traingular area between Fürstenau, Oldenburg and Munster (Germany) . Does anybody know the source of Umathum? If found Ummerthun in Switzeland so is there a connection? Roy (The Netherlands)

Roy:
I do not know the source of the name, but I am descended from a Margaretha Adelheid Ummethun who married Herman Heinrich Deters. The spelling of her last name is in the church records in Schwagstorf, but I believe they lived in Furstenau. This would have been around 1800. Their first child was born in 1809, but I do not have birth/marriage/death information on Margaretha. I would be intested in knowing more about the Ummethun name, as well as any family information you may have. To date, most of my research has revolved around the Deters.
