The van Munthe line traces back to the year 1072, Ghent Belgium. During the Reformation period many of these families moved to Lubeck, Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweden where they became Priests and Bishops of the State Churches. They are inter-married with the von Krogh family, and the Morgenstieme family. The Norwegian Ambassador to the United States was Welhelm van Munthe av Morgenstierne, the senior ambassador in Washington until his death in 1963. They held high positions in the St. Peters Church in Ghent. Ludvig Munthe was a merchant in Lubeck. The longest ancestral root extends from Ascricus de Munte, 1072 down to the present generation. The earliest mention of the name Munte is in 990, but no records are available until in 1072. This is an old 'Flanderske' family living in and near Ghent, Belgium. Brief biographical sketches are found in our AAK family book. Members held high positions in the Catholic Cathedral of St. Peters in Ghent. A large genealogy of the Munthe families records the names of many prominent persons in the Scandinavian countries. It was published in 1882 and consists of 764 pages; Various coat-of-arms are pictured. I was fortunate in locating a copy in a book store in Oslo. Many foot notes give us very interesting side lights on their mode of living, traveling, occupations and societies of the people of 300 to even 600 years ago. It is the most interesting genealogy book I ever came across. From 'A Supplement to the Anderson-Amundson-Von Krogh Family, 1956 Edition ' by Lester W. Hansen, page 102-103.
