The Altmark (first a supply ship, then a warship)was, I think, named the "Altmark" area in Brandenburg, Germany, but that doesn't have anything to do with me. My people are ethnic Lithuanians that we believe are from the from the Stary Targ (Altmark/Altmarkt) region of Poland. Now, whether the two areas have a common naming ancestor is anyone's guess. Chuckie, on the other hand, has an ancestral line that includes lower primates and household appliances. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
