Sorry ! I should have clarified...'Direct'...father to son etc. If so
what do we know about him/them...notable in any way other than descent ?
Thanks -wayne

The male line of Martin Luther is no longer extant, I think it died
out in the 18th Century,though as Grant says,there are many
descendants of Martin Luther alive today. As far as I can recall
there was nothing too notable about them.
Cheers,Henry

Prior to Jan 1989 a book was compilede in Berlin, Germany by a man I
believe named Gunther Luther. The book tried to collect all the known
descendants of Hans LUDER, father of both Martin LUTHER, and his brother
Jacob LUTHER. I am descended from Jacob. I only have a Xerox copy of the
portion of the (typewritten in German) book that covers "Nachkommen Jacob
Luther". I find it interesting how many descendants settled in England and
America.

In the 2 volume book, THE BREMERS AND THEIR KIN IN GERMANY AND IN TEXAS,
authored by Robert R. Robinson, Jr., a complete listing of most of the
descendents of Catharine Juliana Sophie Dorothea Horn Goldbeck is found.
She is a descendent of Martin Luther. Fortunately I am able to refer to
this source as it includes my family also.
