As for your Polish Altmans, if they're descended from a Samuel Altman in New York from the 1870s, do let me know - we could have a connection.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />DanielDanielMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03187700038566886908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495304527231986191.post-12041887287651528442013-02-02T14:31:32.799-08:002013-02-02T14:31:32.799-08:00The name Altman is very common in several countrie...The name Altman is very common in several countries (unfortunately for those researching the name). Both my husband and I have Altman's in our ancestry. <br /><br />On my own family the earliest record I have is 1854 for Marcu Altman, born in Romania.<br /><br />My husband's mother was an Altman, also spelled Oltman in some records. These Altman's were from Poland, although we've found little documentation and our records do not go back very far. These Altman's were in America in the late 1800's.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832924349940175251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495304527231986191.post-9677546889582765742013-01-07T06:32:49.400-08:002013-01-07T06:32:49.400-08:00Peter,

I am fairly sure that in my case the name originates in Poland. Thanks anyway though,<br /><br />DanielDanielMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03187700038566886908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495304527231986191.post-17580650524651786612013-01-07T05:43:09.252-08:002013-01-07T05:43:09.252-08:00Hi Daniel,

Could it be that there is a Dutch connection somewhere? <br />Kind regards,<br />PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512412669995490110noreply@blogger.com
