Great Munn Ancestors?
Lovely Chris Hardwick was walking through a cemetery in Canada (?) for some odd reason and came upon a gravestone with MUNN on it! Looks like the Munn blod line goes back to 1761! What. Up.

“Lovely Chris Hardwick was walking through a cemetery in Canada (?) for some odd reason and came upon a gravestone with MUNN on it! Looks like the Munn blod line goes back to 1761! What. Up.”
Looks like we need “Engrish” lessons.
Can you imagine what it would’ve been like crossing the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower with a bunch of Munn’s??
Phuck U, Christopher! I put my foot on this soil before you!!
No surprise. A large percent of hot asian chicks come from Canada.
What a common thing to be doing, trolling around a grave yards.
Pretty cool though, in a morbid kinda way.
The surname of MUNN was derived from the Old French ‘Mun’ a name given to a monk or a man of the cloth. The name was probably brought to England in the wake of the Norman Conquest of 1066. Early records of the name mention William de Moion, listed as a tenant in the Domesday Book of 1086. Reginald de Moyn was documented in County Somerset in the year 1239. Thomas le Mun, 1275, County Norfolk. William de Mohun of Yorkshire, was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379. Thomas Haynes and Dorothy Moone were married at St. James’s, Clerkenwell, London in the year 1762. William Moon and Mary Stuart were married at St.George’s, London in the year 1762. The name was taken early to Scotland by settlers, and John de Mohun is recorded in Carlaverock in the year 1300, and appears to be the first of the name on record. George Moon is recorded in the year 1711 in Kilspindie. At first the coat of arms was a practical matter which served a function on the battlefield and in tournaments. With his helmet covering his face, and armour encasing the knight from head to foot, the only means of identification for his followers, was the insignia painted on his shield, and embroidered on his surcoat, the flowing and draped garment worn over the armour. The associated arms are recorded in Sir Bernard Burkes General Armory. Ulster King of Arms in 1884. It has long been a matter of doubt when the bearing of coats of arms first became hereditary and it was not until the Crusades that Heraldry came into general use. Men went into battle heavily armed and were difficult to recognise. It became the custom for them to adorn their helmets with distinctive crests, and to paint their shields with animals and the like. Coats of arms accompanied the development of surnames, becoming hereditary in the same way. Most of the European surnames were formed in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The process had started somewhat earlier and had continued in some places into the 19th century, but the norm is that in the tenth and eleventh centuries people did not have surnames, whereas by the fifteenth century most of the population had acquired a second name.
Munn Heraldic family Crest Motto is “Omnia Vincit Veritas” or translated from Latin to English “truth conquers all things”
Neat.
In Canada? Kind of a big place, don’t suppose he could narrow it down a tad?
Anyway, your ancestor lived to be 79? Way back then, that was positively venerable! You’ve got good longevity in your genes, Miss Olivia.
Heh, I said “in your genes”. Huh huh huh.
you has Munncestors!
Bravo, Munn! That is awesome. My ancestry can be traced directly back to 1735 (it sometimes amazes me that I am only number nine in this generational-genetic line). Then the records are lost for hundreds of years, but pick back up, fragmentary, in the 1300’s A.D.(C.E.), and to, of all things, Welsh royalty. Must have had some well-traveled, cosmopolitan ancestors back in the day, kickin’ it ancient school. I already know I have Roman blood in me, but I also like to entertain the possibility that I may be a direct descendant of King Arthur. Perhaps some future descendant of mine may change the world forever for the better, maybe even an entire galaxy. I have high and noble aspirations.
Chris Hardwick is the man, and finds everything!! haha
i think munn killed the real jesse james
That’s way cool. I’m native American and because of that a large majority of my families history was destroyed.
Damn Munn, u go way back, even further than Hardwick in canada?!
How often does Hardwick hang around cemeteries? You may consider letting everybody knows where you are at all times when you hang out with him. Just saying.
it’s a sad day. I cried 3 or 4 times during Michael Jackson’s memorial service. Especially at the end when his daughter said her goodbye. It broke my heart.
A quick search turns up a Munn family crest. If I could post a link I would. Motto: “Truth conquers all things”. The name comes from the place of residence - Moion, near Normandy - of a family that came across to England in the Norman conquest of 1066. The settled in Kent, where they were the Lords of the Manor of Maidstone. So you probably have Lords, Earls, Barons, etc. in your ancestry. There was apparently a Munnes who arrived in VA in 1619, and some Munns in the Carribean shortly thereafter. There are probably many Munns out there (or Munson, or some variation).
Munn
Scottish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Gille Mhunna.
English: nickname from Anglo-Norman French noun ‘monk’.
American: Crazy ninja girl with ability to make most of wonder bra.
Just proves that the Canadian universial health care don’t work ehh!
Hardwick just happened to be walking through a Canadian cemetery and just happened to find a gravestone with Munn on it?????….Be careful Olivia…something creepy is going on.Think back….did you piss off Hardwick sometime this week?…I think he may be holding a grudge!
You should dig him up and have him on the show.
woah sick shitt!!!! lol
LOL
So… you’re Canadian?
*unsubscribes*
My first name is Daniel. Are we related?
holy shit! 1761! so lemme get this right Doc Munn immagrated to Usa in like the 1600’s, then he migrated north to kill more Native Americans. THEN some Chinese female ninja’d her way to Canada, boinked each other, and just hung around for some time, boating back to China to see her family and whatnot. very fascinating! you should be documented on “BIOGRAPHY: Olivia’s Tree”
no one finds it creepy that Chris Hardwick just happened to be walking in a cemetery.. cuz i do..
Wow, this reminds of Back to the Future 3 where Marty stumbles upon Doc Browns grave… Wait Munn’s are Canadian??
I’m sorry for your loss.
effing hilarious!
Looks like your fine ass has been a long time in the making.
cool, you should look into that you might have a huge fortune waiting for you!
That`s pretty awesome he lived to be 79 years old clear back in 1761. At his death is was 167 years before anyone even came up with penicillium.Clearly the Munn`s are marvals.
79 back in the time is like 300 years today years
so the munns have great genes
Ps. What was Chris doing in a graveyard anyway?!?! Was he trying to dig up a date???
Good day and welcome to the Great White North, I’m Bob McKenzie and this is my brother Doug.
Good day eh
So like today’s topic is graveyards eh, and like whats Chris doing walking around in one eh?
Yeah like he should get out of there…Take off eh!
Thats my Canadian comment so good day.
I like to think that the angel is his own imaginary breasts… That what I hope heaven is like. Breasts for everyone…
I forgot to put the word rubbing in that first sentance. Rubbing imaginary breasts.
I was so distracted by the thought of running imaginary breasts, I for got to write it = )
I can assure you that Canada is totally sweet. It’s like America, except there’s lots of clean air and not as many guns. Also, hockey.
It’s possible he could be an ancestor of yours. Have you ever trace your family tree on your father’s side?
That’s good times, but seriously though, why the shit was Hardwick walking through a cemetery in Canada?
I wouldn’t go around bragging that I had Canadian in my blood line!!!
Oh, hes cool and a doctor. So he must be asian.
Guess that makes you Canadian, eh? lol
Wow, possible long family hertiage?
Lucky us, we got the best Munn, here in 2009!
Definitely the hottest Munn!
The Munn family has good genes!
That’s cool?
It’s the perfect unison of two fantastic names of two totally awesome people.
Holy shit! I just realized that may be our son from the future that we sent back to the past to escape the robopocalypse.
guess Munns are awesome even back in 1761
Did he LOL in the graveyard ? Were people like WTF ?
lol what is Hardwick doing in a Canadian cemetery!?!?
Wow I didnt know they had grave stones that old in such good condition!
Nice….I like that the angel on the gravestone is giving 2 thumbs up…..
he’s giving 2 thumbs up
Hmmm I hope your not part Canadian
Why not I know a lot of candadian women and they are all hot! That is pretty wierd that he was just wandering around a cemetery
