Following are links to learn all about Herman and Mary Martin and their decendents.
This effort began at the 2006 cousin reunion. As part of the discussion, we agreed that a family tree was needed. Sharon Graff picked up the ball and ran with it. She gathered information by interviewing all the people in attendance. She also got several cousins to write up their family branch's information. It was all turned over to Lyle Graff, who was asked to get the information on the cousin's web site.
Sources and Accuracy of Information
The first link is to a complete pictorial of the Herman and Mary Martin family tree:
The next link presents the detailed genealogy of the family. For those deceased, all details that exists in the database (Name, nickname, dates and places of birth and death, cause of death, place of burial, etc.) are shown. For those still living, only the name is shown.
If you are not familiar with the genealogy "register" format, it takes a little getting used to. All of one generation is listed, then the next, and so on. If an individual has no offspring, then all the details of that person is displayed. Every individual is assigned an index number, shown to the left of their name. If a person has decendents, then just a few details for that person are displayed, and a "+" is placed out to the left of the index number. That indicates more details will be found at the next level. This web version of the genealogy makes navigation easy because if there is a "+", you can click on the person's name and you will be taken right to their details.
Herman and Mary Martin decendents' Genealogy
The family tree image and the Herman and Mary Martin genealogy (with no details hidden) are available by mail or email. The genealogy showing all decendents of Herman and Mary is 27 pages. You can also request decendents starting from any individual. Just ask for the family branch (name and index number) you are interested in (fewer pages = save a tree or shorten download time.)
Also, the complete genealogy is available as a GEDCOM file, which is the standard format used to share genealogical information.
Please pass all this information on to your relatives that aren't online. Most of them should have my mail address. If not, email me at ldgraff@dgcomputing.com to request my address for them.They can request printouts of the information. I will only send information to people in the database.
If you have updates or corrections, include the person's name and index number. Duplicate the information that needs changed and then show the changes by using highlighted (bold face or underlined) text if possible. Email or mail them to me.
