Family history (genealogy) has always been of interest to D. M. Kalten. Starting in childhood notes were kept of things heard about past relatives stated by family members. That lead to a giant interest in history as one has to understand the past in order to understand those who lived in the past. As time moved forward D. M. Kalten gathered a vast amount of historic facts few know about and slowly those will show in some of the ‘Books by Kalten’.
