His g-g grandfather's name was Michael Martin, from the Emerald, Wisconsin area. Michael's son was Arthur Martin who married Mary McNamara, they had four children that I know of: Joseph, Eileen, Ronald, and Harold. Ronald is my friend's grandfather. Michael's parents, I believe came to Wisconsin in 1848. Arthur was born in Wisconsin in 1885. Anyone knowing anything about these families please contact me at [email protected]
