The Altum Newsletter was first published after the gathering of the Altum family, in Anderson County, Tennessee, June of 1995. The consensus of our family was to publish a newsletter that would link the past with the present. Since the first publication the letter has kept our family in close contact with one another, and helped us to bond in friendship and "kinship".
Many of our "cousins" have contributed valuable family information and old family photos for publication. There are a couple of cousins that have written articles and shared stories about their families to the delight of all. Some cousins send in their favorite poems, recipes and pictures of their pets! The newsletter is filled with present day, "what's going on with our families" type information mixed with past history and genealogical information.
Here are some of the topics published in the newsletter:
