H Cheryl,

I am reading a book right now by, and about, one of your ancestors, Cornelius Martens. It is called "Beneath the Cross," and translated for the first time into English by his daughter, Helen Fast. It is about his life, growing up in southern Russia, and the persecution of Christians at that time. I haven't ye got to his escape into Germany. Fascinating read! Anyway, I was looking for relatives just out of interest's sake. I wondered if you had a copy of the book, or if you know Helen?

Regards,

Heather Knechtel
