Message Board Post:
i had an uncle Chester Chapin. Im not sure if he is the same person you are looking for, but his wife's name was Pearl and she was Australian. I think Chester was in the Merchant Marines during WWII. I know just a little bit about Uncle Chess and Aunt Pearl. I believe they operated a poodle grooming business. I dont know what happened to Pearl after Chess died. But maybe someone else in the Chapin family knows. I only faintly remember them.
I am searching for information on Chester's father, my grandfather, who died in SF. He and my grandmother, Maude, had nine children. His name was also Chester Chapin. Aunt Fern (still living) said that of the six boys born to him, Chester resembled his father the most. Maude and Chester divorced and i think that Chester Chapin remarried and had a few more children. Do you know anything about him?
