Good Morning Cousin Joe,
Just got back from a week's (went to lapidary school in Georgia) vacation and was delighted to recieve you email messages.

No problem Joe. I very sorry to hear of your loss. Losing a loved one is difficult. My sincerest sympathy to you and your family from the Van Horn clan. I hope things are settling down for you a bit.

Fantastic that you have two lines that go back to our famous Martiau ancestor. Last spring the Nicholas Martiau Descendants Association had their every three year get together in Yorktown. I found out about it way to late to make the party, but I am working hard on getting the documentation together to get our line approved for membership. We have another cousin (Dennis) who is a member of the NMDA and has offered to help me get the necessary information together so anyone with our line can be members (see pasted in info below from him). Unfortunately I haven't heard back from him lately, but i am going to tickle him today via email and maybe get the information we need. As soon as I do, I will forward via snail mail the information he sends me. Maybe if we work together on this, we can get into the organizations he mentions if you are interested.
On a related subject, I have been in contacted by Kay Rockett who has an award winning website online regarding the WARE family we are related to. This one has the lineage of Susannah WARE's family (the one that married Richard Oglesby). This one goes back into old England. You will find it very interesting so check out
http://www.geocities.com/~kayrockett/ware.htm for more information on this new line for us.
Well guess I better get back to work. I have a ton of emails from last week to answer but I definitely wanted to get back to you ASAP. Again, great to hear from you and stay in touch.

Hi Larry,
I am a member of the Nicolas Martiau Descendant Association NO. 91, and also The National Huguenot Society NO. 5-603. Both Applications to these fine organizations were approved back in 1995. I will send you copies of my applications so you can join also. It will arrive as soon as I can get to Office Depot to make copies for you. Please send me your address where to mail them. Unfortunately, I move around so much that no one can find me, and I let my membership fade away, and am a delinquent member. I am a very good friend with Mary L. Brown, Registrar of NMDA, her address is Mary L. Brown, 2366 Highgate Rd., Westlake Village, CA 91361-3557, telephone (805) 371-9774.
Contact her for an application and let her know you are a cousin of mine and would like to get your application in for membership.
My affliation with the General Society of the War of 1812 keeps me very busy and that is the only organization that I really devote time to. Or have time for. I founded the California State Society in 1989. I was the first state president. Presently, I am Treasurer, an office I held since my term as President expired in 1991. I also hold a National Office as District Deputy President General for the Pacific Area. This is my second term in that office.
I really believe you will enjoy your membership in NMDA, they meet in Yorktown for dedication of our esteem ancestor once every other year. I believe you are having problems like everybody else does when they try connecting Lucy Oglesby to Martiau and it is in the Wills Family Line that gives us problems. I will try and explain the descent.
