Sorry everyone - I am not very good at watching this site.
I will - at some point - attempt to scan in the family tree of the Robin family from Guernsey. It is very big and I will have to find a way of either reducing it, which may make it difficult to read, or to scan it in sections.  If I could find the time - ! I could type it in, in a form that is readable.  That is my plan.

I can tell you that there are several branches of the Robin family: some come from the Provence area of France and another from Brittany & Normandy. My guess is that the Robin family in Guernsey came from the latter. Whether they moved there for the sugar, which I have not heard about, or another reason, I don't know.

Hi Lisa
I just found this site. I reckon we are related - all the people you mention are my ancestors too.
My maiden name is Robin (we never used the 's' in our family) and I can trace my family back to Jean Robin 1681 and perhaps earlier.
I have a copy of the Robin Family Tree and all its branches for the Guernsey clan.
I have been meaning to get down to sorting out a box full of papers from research I did many years ago. I was lucky enough to meet an old gentleman in his 90's who told me a great deal about the Robin family.

My father, grandfather and great grandfather were all Eugene.
My great grandmother was a Mauger and I have information about them as well.
