Where did the men of Angmar come from?

[StewardDenethor]

What was the origin of the Men of Carn Dum and the Witch Kingdom of Angmar? Were they exiled Numenoreans or something similar? And what about those they fought against, who had kingdoms on the Barrow-Downs? Can't find anything on this- help please!

I thought they were corrupted numneroureans and other men as well as easterlings. After a while they would have bred and become mingled.

Also possible that they were of the same stock as the men of Bree...
