I would also appreciate very much any MARTIN researchers with ancestry in the above locations joining our Martin DNA Project – web site at http://www.small-stuff.com/MARTIN/DNA/. We’ve already found several matches that proved our traditional research and have found new cousins that we have yet to prove how they connect to our line. I have posted two charts at http://ImageEvent.com/sunimaze/currentdna if you would like to see those. Please consider joining us! Thank you! Kay
