Jean,
I live in the village of Dummer that Michael metioned to you. The village has evolved through several spellings, firstly Dunmere (pond on ahill), Dunmer, Dumer and Dummer. One of the first recorded people with the name in the village was spelt Dumer and this can be confusing as we know that the French and German branches of the familyalso spelt their name Dumer.
If you can find Art Dummer on this site (I have lost his email address - so long since I logged on) he is a mine of information as to which branch ended up where and David Dummer is great on the USA branch and you can't beat Michael for the UK. Do get his CD, it is full of fascinating info. (Oh, there's a large Welsh contingent as well!)
