Default A Favor to Ask of Slavic Language Speakers

I hope somebody here can help me out. My wife's grandmother came from Eastern Europe, somewhere in or near Russia, we think. Possibly the Carpathian mountain area, but nobody is sure. My father-in-law remembers the old folks often talking about a group of people back in Europe they referred to as "the mumirushaks". I'm spelling that phonetically, so the spelling is certainly incorrect. Anyone have a guess as to what this word means?

Thanks for the help.
