Upon moving to America, it is my understanding they changed their names to Frederick W. Altman and Wilhelmine Bauer. Two known children of this marriage, Frank Altman, born about 1856 in Germany, married Martha (surname unknown from Ohio, born about 1860) about 1879 in Illinois. A second child, "George" Wilhelm Rudolph Altman (born Johann) born 26 Nov 1858 near Buffalo, NY, died 27 May 1944 in Grangeville, Idaho Co, Idaho, USA. George was a farmer in Idaho for many years and married twice, once to Anna Margaret Kief, Born about 1859, died about 1897 in Illinois. They had 6 children:
Florence Ella Altman, F, 1880-1962 Married Charles Edward Daniels 1872-1938
Frederick Walrod Altman, M, April 1, 1885-1955 Married Edna Pearl Kifett 1892-1970
Herbert J. Altman, M, 1887-1912
Alma Altman, F, 1888-1957 Married Arthur Thomas Phelan 1887-1964
Walter George Altman, M, 1892-1955 Married Grace Naser 1895-1981
Emanuel Henry Altman, M, 1895-1975 Married Katie Albeerta Hitchens 1896-1929
George married Cora Etta Hamner 1879-1956
Cora was born in Logan County, Illinois Aug 12, 1870 and was married previously to Isaac B. Viles or Vilas, and died in Grangeville, Idaho Jan 1, 1956. She was my great-grandmother.
I believe they married in Illinois, and moved to Idaho around 1900. Two children resulted from this marriage:
George B. Altman July 17, 1902, died of epilepsy Mar 17, 1917
Edward Ray Altman, Mar 26, 1904-2001 Married Mabel Georgia Webber (1900-1991) Mar 25, 1923.
One child from this marriage, Katherine Marie Altman 1925-2013
Katherine married Walter Wilson Butcher 1920-2010 who was my father although not biological.
I hope this is helpful. I have also found a Ferdinand
