I would suggest that each of you have a direct Martin decendent give a sample to the Martin DNA project. It may solve your link difficulties. I added two generations with a small (12 panel for $125) test, and may add two more if I find a specific link missing in one generation. This was the best $$ I ever spent on genealogy research, and I recommend it for those having link problems.
