European Connections
Hans Heinrich Stumme is the earliest of the Iowa ancestors that I've found so far. He and his family lived in the small town of Bakede, southwest of Hannover, Germany. The details that follow are for the three generations that were born in Germany. Ernst Christoph Stumme became the forefather of the Iowa group. His brother, Johann Conrad Stumme, stayed in Illinois. Information on their descendants in the United States is presented on other pages.
