Getting Started as a Search Angel:
Solving Mysteries to Reunite Families

Robin Selinger

Kent State physics professor and cantorial soloist Robin Selinger will discuss her volunteer work as a “search angel”. A member of the JGSC, Robin got started in family tree research as a hobby in 2007. As a search angel, she helps others locate long-lost parents, children and other family members. In just one year, she took on and solved three such cases including a woman whose father used a false name and disappeared when she was only four-years old. Robin discovered the father’s true identity and found two half-siblings who welcomed their long-lost sister into the family.

Robin holds bachelor’s and Ph.D. degrees in physics from Harvard University and joined Kent State’s faculty in 2005. She serves on the Board of Directors of the American Physical Society. She also displays her musical talent as a cantorial soloist for Temple Beth Sholom in Hudson where aside from song leading at sabbath and holiday services, she teaches music on Sunday mornings at the religious school.
