Very interesting. I left additional info there. Nolte is a German name and as such is pronounced "Nol-tah" there by the native speakers. But for some reason we have adopted the "Nol-tee" sound here. I for one might prefer to go back to the original way to say it. Go back to that website, I left a new entry there with a WAV file. By the way, my ancestors came from the Hannover, Germany area, and the name is till pretty common there. Many businesses in the area with the name and a street in Hannover with the name of Noltestrasse. Take care Bruce Nolte Los Angeles Hello Steve
