On ancestry.com, it shows that there were quite a few Talens that immigrated from the Netherlands in the early 1920s. They landed in NY, NY. Based on the limited number of people with this surname, I would guess that it is possible you are related to them if your family has been in the U.S. for a few generations.
It's really a neat website - you have to pay to get access to the info, but it's worth it!!
