For the majority of the Drouin of North America, there is only one original descendant.                     His name was Robert Drouin and he came from Pin-la-Garenne (Perche) France. The                     following pages, will give some information on this particular family.   I intent to                     publish information on my own family line as well as publish other Drouin family lines and                     personal stories on their places of origin and settlements in North America.                     I will also insert  GEDCOM files for research by other family members.  A beginning of this is                                                      listed below  under the heading, "My Family Tree".  My research on my own family as been placed at www.ancestry.com and is available to all but the most updated one is on the Geneanet site listed below
