Letter to Franklin Lamm about the Possibility of Being Related (1976)
Dear Mr. Lamm: Thank you very much for your warm good wishes and your congratulations. It is possible that we are related, although I doubt it. My father’s family comes from a small town near Lwow, or Lemberg, which is in Poland. The variations on our last names include Lamm, Lam, and Lamb. You write that your father’s name was Pinchas Lamm, which is the same name as my uncle, my father’s brother, Phillip-Pinchas Lamb, who now lives in Miami Beach. I am sending a copy of your letter to me, and this response, to my father, Mr. Samuel Lamm of Brooklyn, who may have some information linking our families. Whether related immediately or not, I certainly am grateful to you for your letter and hope we shall have good reason to be proud of the name! Cordially yours, Norman Lamm President NL:gf cc: Mr. Samuel Lamm
