About Me  My name is Robin Foster. I have been researching my own genealogy and helping others find resources to document ancestors since 1985. I have been a contributor to the wiki since February 20, 2008.

Community Support I served a part-time family history mission from 2007 to 2014. In 2011, I helped to create the FamilySearch Genealogy Research Communities on Facebook. On April 30, 2013 to June 23, 2014, I served as a FamilySearch Wiki Support Team Lead. I am now a family history center director.
