Priscilla Eaton Gumina Elected 172nd Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists

The Fellows of the American Society of Genealogists (ASG) held their annual meeting on Saturday, October 15, 2022. Priscilla Eaton Gumina of Rochester, New York, was elected to the Society as its 172nd Fellow (“FASG”).

Priscilla, who publishes under her maiden name of Priscilla Eaton, is well known to readers of The Maine Genealogist. For more than twenty years, she has published extensively and frequently, principally on Maine families, in the leading genealogical journals. In 2020, her magisterial two-volume work, The Littlefield Genealogy: Descendants of Edmund Littlefield of Wells, Maine, received the prestigious Donald Lines Jacobus Award from the ASG. As a researcher and writer, she deftly solves knotty problems ranging from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries. Moreover, she sets these genealogical analyses compellingly into well narrated historical and cultural contexts. Her genealogy is a joy to read.

In the near future, the Maine Genealogical Society will publish her second book, The Bragdon Genealogy: Descendants of Arthur Bragdon of York, Maine, Through Seven Generations.

Congratulations to Priscilla for this well-deserved and most distinguished honor.
