Lost Great Uncle Martiens/martiensen
From talk in family we Know a Great Uncle went to America. My delimma is we don't when and to which part Of the United States of America. I am guessing it would be between 1850-1900. They were born Martiens but changed their name to Martiensen. They could even have spelt it Marthienssen this is the spelling on my Great Grandfathers board which was on his sea chest. It was mostlikely done by his Granfather as he was a Shups Carpenter. In one corner is the Swedish flag and in the other is the German Flag.
I know my search will be long and hard but anything is possible.
