Welcome to the Association des Fortin d’Amérique’s (AFA) website.

It’s a privilege to have an Association such as ours, and a pleasure to make it possible for you to discover it, and – who knows? – perhaps consider joining it yourself. 

Here, you will find an abundance of information about the Association, its various member activities, gatherings and annual reunions held at various locations where various Fortin families live.

Our website is in constant evolution. Therefore, it’s quite possible that certain contents are still incomplete. We will strive to enrich it with various documents archived since the AFA’s founding. New topics will gradually be added and set ones be expanded aver the months to come.

Julien Fortin, a businessman

In France  during the XVII century, Perche is a very small province in the north of France surrounded by Normandie, Ile-de-France, Orléanais and Maine. To earn their living people cultivate the soil, do business and those with manual skills work as artisans.        The « Percherons » are known to be zealous workers but aloof with management. Justifying this,…

The Association des Fortin d'Amérique’s Review

Help!

Hi,

The Le Fortinfo (AFA’s semi-annual review) is constantly searching for articles to be included in future issues. We are quite aware that every family has a past, but most people don’t dare sharing their ancestors’ history…

Are you among those Fortins who would like to try the experience of expressing their family’s memories and souvenirs, knowing that several Fortin members would enjoy the opportunity of learning your kinship, perhaps even discover a common ascendant that they did not know existed?

Le Fortinfo offers you the opportunity to make your story known, or that of one of your family members. No need to be a writer or poet; simply to share in your words, your story, their stories. Above all, don’t be afraid to perfectly describe your experiences at first glance; we’ll be happy to help you in your approach. In addition, if you have old photos of your story’s era but aren’t equipped to scan them, just them to us; we will scan them, Email you copies and mail the originals back to you.

If this idea appeals to you, just contact us, rather than torment yourself with a Yay-or-Nay decision. We encourage you to contact us to discuss this unique opportunity. Any non-AFA-members who wish to try this experience will receive a copy of that Le Fortinfo Review in which the article will appear, free of charge.

P.S. Of course, members of the AFA are even more welcomed to participate in this opportunity.
