History
The Racine Families Association was founded on
10 June 1987, at which time it was incorporated under Part 3 of the Québec
Corporate Law as a non-profit organization.
Purpose
The Association's purpose
is to unite all Racine
family members, their relatives, and friends in an effort to
promote historical research on the genealogy of the family. Its purpose is
also to maintain communication, friendship, and fraternity among and
between Racine descendants.
There are over
100
members in Canada, the USA and France.
Activities
There is an annual reunion each
summer/autumn.
The following is a list of past reunions, including the name of the
presidents of the organizing committee for each reunion and the
