Of all the Anglo-Saxon names to come from Britain, Haltenby is one of the most ancient. The name is a result of the original family having lived in Haldenby, a township, in the parish of Adlingfleet, union of Goole, Lower division of the wapentake of Osgoldcross in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The township has remained very small over the years as by 1848, it had only 75 inhabitants.

Migration of the Haltenby family
Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Haltenbys to arrive in North America: Samuel Haldenby, who moved to South Dakota (date unknown).
