Our Mission

The mission of the Claflin Family Association is to hold annual reunions, promote friendships among our members, inform members about the genealogy and history of the Claflin Family in America since 1650, inform members about our Scottish heritage and Clan MacLachlan, and make funds available for the advancement of education, public health, and historic preservation.

    The Claflin Family Archive

    The Claflin Family Archive is getting closer to a reality. Negotiations continue for locating the archive at the Hopkinton Historical Society Museum at Hayden Rowe in Hopkinton, MA. The building is a former two-room schoolhouse where the society has been located since 1991. The building is under-going major renovation at this time. A new climate-controlled basement is the area in which the archives will come to stay. This will allow preservation of family memorabilia for future generations of Claflins to view and research. Read more about the archive in the newsletter, Claflin Connections - Spring 2009
