Try like this

private void mnuDatabase1_Click(object sender, ...)
{
    ToolStripMenuItem MyMenuItem = (ToolStripMenuItem)sender;
    ToolStripMenuItem parent = (ToolStripMenuItem)MyMenuItem.OwnerItem;
    if (parent.Name == "mnuAdd")
        //Add Menu
    else if (parent.Name == "mnuEdit")
        //Edit Menu
    else if (parent.Name == "mnuDelete")
        //Delete Menu
}
