Cresskill, N.J.'s "Tallman House"
It's called the Tallman House because Egbert Tallman -- my great-grandfather, and the town's second mayor -- lived there. It's a great old place in the center of town. But it ought to be called the Voorhis House. David Voorhis, one of the small town's founders, actually built it. He died, left it to his daughter, Emma, who was Egbert's third wife.
Egbert and Emma had seven kids, including Ella and Jeanette, and my grandfather, Charles. Charles lived in the house next door, where my father was raised.
Egbert deserves some recognition I suppose, but I wonder if the Voorhises know?
I post this because the page seemed empty. If you have a photo of some aspect of Tallmaniana, I'll replace this. Does anyone have a picture of the Tallman House in Janesville, Wisconsin? I hear that's a grand place, too.

Most Tallmans I run into on the 'net are linked to Peter Tallman, from Germany. Great to see the first sign-up is from my clan. I descend from Douwe's son Theunis.
I know little about Douwe. Just that he was from Friesland. Apparently his wife Dirckje appeared in court at some point, which makes me wonder if they weren't troublemakers.

Interested in sharing info about Douwe Harmens Talma, his wife Dirckje Theunis and their descendants. Douwe left his birthplace of Buitenpost, Friesland, The Netherlands, via Harlingen and Amsterdam, to settle in Bergen, New Jersey.
I would be particularly interested to find out in which document he is first registered with the TALMA surname (and why he chose this surname), since he was only known as Douwe Harmens in The Netherlands ...
Anybody interested in TALMA genealogy is invited to join our TALMA Research Group.
