(AUMAN) ORMAN DESCENDANTS


There are many ways to spell the Orman name. This is true of any family name coming from the "Old Country". When they came here most could not speak, read, or write the English language and they relied on the clerks of court and census takers to spell them as they sounded to that particular person. Jacob (AUMAN) ORMAN, German immigrant came here from Rotterdam, Holland to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
on the ship "Thistle" arriving 29 Aug. 1730. It was the custom for immigrants to boat up the Rhine River from Germany to Rotterdam at that time.The following list contains
