I really appreciate that information and maybe will attend, I also have picturess of most of these Martin's. Have you yet astablished a connection in the family. I am still researching.My husbands aunt was a social science major at the UNC in Chaple Hill and was a teacher for 15 years, she has already done her history and has traced them back to the early 1800. She wrote a book about the times she lived in, in NC. It is great to talk with someone else that is tracing. The Martin's are not the only family I am tracing, I am doing some of my other branches.
