Hi, Bob. I, too, live in Aurora and am searching for information in Altona pre 1891, so I saw your answer. There was quite a discussion on the Danish website about Altona when I was asking about the emigration of my husband's grandfather who was Danish. He had lived in Altona prior to emigrating from Copenhagen in 1891. If I can find the mail, I will send it along to the requester. Just wanted to say hi from Aurora too. Carol Haycock on So.

At one time, a long time ago, it was a small separate village. Use your search engine to find out about Hamburg. The city does have its own web site and I believe it is in english also.
