It had to start somewhere and it didn't take long to get this Enterprise going.
We are the Eight
Jim and Beth had eight kids. We in turn had many children of our own and opened our homes to extended family. For most of our upbringing, we had 3 generations living together in the family home. We ate dinner together at one not so large dining table every night without fail. We have spread geographically and our kids are growing up and are heading out on their own.
Me and Jay and Mom and Dad wnet to a Martin-Sell reunion when I was a kid. I remember there being kids our age - not the case with Martin-Elliott. We fall right in the gap between gen 2 & 3. Of course the older I get the less of a gap that is. Yet I digress. It was cool and a bit sad to know there were distant cousins out there we weren't connected to.

Yes. On both sides of the family.
