My great uncle's name was Christian Martens.He married Anna Schlingplesser on 2 Apr 1903 in Brooklyn, NY.Anna's brother Diedrich was my grandfather.According to their marriage records Christian was the son of Johann and Dora Brinkman Martens and was born in Tostedt, Germany.Christian and Anna lived initially in Brooklyn and moved to Hempstead, NY before 1920 where they raised their two children Dorothy and Christian.Christian died on 7 Feb 1959.Anna was born on 9 Aug 1880 and died in Aug 1968.Any information you have on Christian Martens, his siblings or parents or his wife would be appreciated.
