Looking for connections to Martins in PA/IA/IN/IL/MO/KS/WY/CA/MT/ND/CO to start with. Given names I have: MATTIE/MARGARET/MARTHA, SARAH, CARRIE, THOMAS, ELMER/EDWARD (I think these were all siblings). I have many other names, but have not been able to make sense of them yet. Locations have posed a problem also. I know the SR Martins, spent many years, and had children in KS and MO. There must be offsprings still there. Also of those kids....Thomas settled in WY and had family there. Sarah moved to CA and married into the Gates family either by her own marriage or of a child of hers. Mattie moved to MT and ND and back to MT and then on to OR. Mattie died in abt 1950 in Portland Oregon. Possibly Sarah, either Mattie's mother or her sister with the same name died in 1931. This last note I have on a postcard, not sure who died, it just says mom died. Not much to go on...............still grasping at straws. Myrna
Myrna... My Martins are still in KS. Any specific names or locations in KS? Mine came from Iowa and Pennsylvania I believe. Emily Floerchinger
Strange...as I was looking for a Sarah Caroline (Carrie) MARTIN this afternoon...but the dates and places don't match.
