                                  Some families know a great deal about their roots; others know very little. This
                                    site is an attempt to record what I've learned about our family history. In these modern times, families tend to be scattered
                                    all over the country, if not the world. One of the goals of this web site is to help our family stay connected even though
                                    we live far apart. 
                                      
                                    My direct Chapman line was located in Southfield, Oakland Co., MI after 1832.  The following
                                    are some locations that my direct line of Chapmans have been in: 
                                      
                                    1830 - Lima, Livingston Co., NY 
                                    1820 - Livonia, Ontario Co., NY 
                                    1816 - Pike Co., PA  
                                    1700's - CT 
                                    mid to late 1600's - MA 
                                    abt 1619 - Hull, Yorkshire, England 
                                    late 1500's - Whity, Yorkshire, England 
                                     
                                     
                                   
                                 Most of this information was obtained from talking to living relatives and from
                                    researching public records. In the course of doing this research, I've discovered that I have many more relatives than I ever
                                    thought possible! 
  This is a work in progress, so please contact me if you have any information that might help round
                                    out the picture.
