seek info on the Karl/Carl Martin family from Providence are or in Southbridge Mass area in early 1944. A Wayne Martin was married to an Irene Shabott/Chabott on 9.23.1944. She was my grandmother. They divorced and she married Ernest Bryant, but I am curious about Mr. Martin. How long did they know each other before marrying, did he know her parents, does he have any pictures of her or her parents? I know that Carl had a grandchild? named Gale (i think a girl). And the Martin family met my grandmother's children from Ernest sometime in the early 60's. Anxious to know if anyone connects. Kim Bates

Hi Martin Researchers, Awhile back there was a barrage of Irish MARTIN postings and I deleted them all thinking there's no way my MARTINs came from Ireland. Well, I received a document stating that my ancestor, William MARTIN, was one of the Galway Bay MARTINs. William MARTIN was born about 1820 and married a Sarah or Sally in Ireland. They came to Poland, OH and had the following children: Martha, James Johnson and Mary. They are then found in New Castle, PA. I am looking for William's parents and Sarah's maiden name. Thank You!
