The STÜMPGES-STUEMPGES Family

Stümpges Family from Nordrhein-Westfalen:

Early Stümpges lived near Korschenbroich, and later Rheydt. Autosomal DNA testing shows a small percentage of heritage from the Netherlands. The autosomal DNA data aligns with the known Dutch-like surnames of the Mönchengladbach area, such as "am Bleeckkamp," below. The -ges suffix on the Stümpges surname is also a clear indication of Dutch influence. Around generation 3, the family took on the mother's surname of Stümpges, rather than the father's surname of am Bleeckkamp; it is unknown why this occurred.
