Robin LaCroix, Vice President of Massachusetts Society of Genealogy’s Bristol Chapter, has been on her quest to learn her family’s history since she was very young. Born and raised in Dighton, Massachusetts, her mother’s family arrived on the Mayflower, were first purchasers of Taunton, Massachusetts, and still reside there fourteen generations later. Her father’s family were first and second-generation Portuguese immigrants from the Azores, providing vastly different family histories. Her research and findings relating to her presentation, “Another Sibling?!”, are both astonishing and humorous.

 

Enjoying all things genealogy, Robin is a Life Member of Old Colony History Museum and General Society of Mayflower Descendants. She is a member of Massachusetts Society of Genealogy, Inc., New England Historical Genealogical Society, and Massachusetts Genealogical Council. She has completed Boston University’s Genealogical Principles Course and has been working with DNA testing to find biological families for adoptees and those with unknown parentage. Among her genealogy projects, she is currently working on a Cemetery Record Book for the Town of Dighton.
