Clyde Martin's Family History
Ranked #992 in Relationships & Family, #127,384 overall
Pioneer Kansas Family
My dad, Clyde Owen Martin, is the subject for my mom's second book. Some of my essays and my sister Cindy's are included as well. While compiling my mom's writing and research into the book, I uncovered some family history that was new to me. We also turned up some vintage family pictures that I'd not seen before.
It's the story of a hardworking midwestern family man and oilfield worker. His background includes Kansas pioneer families. To get the whole story, I recommend that you get Dad's book. Click on the book cover below or go to Blurb to order it.
In this lens, I'll share some of the photos, information and family tree with you.

Clyde Martin's Family Tree
Clyde's mother worked on the family genealogy for many years. After her death, his wife, Gail Lee Martin, took it up and pursued it diligently. Now my sister and I have taken on the challenge of tracing the Martin/Kennedy/Joy families even further back.
