What is your fathers legal name?

Because of privacy the www.rootsweb.com thomas1560 database will not show people who are born after 1930. I have your family in there but they are not shown because of being born after 1930. I did find this about you though.

Nice hearing from you. After looking over the family names in the thomas1560 database at rootsweb - and want to make any corrections - just let me know and I will correct them. Also if you have any stories or family traditions about any of the Martin family, I can add them also.

Thanks for all you have done, Don.
