Message Board Post:
I received a paper put together by my grandma's sister that says my gggrandfather was
George Chapin. He married Emma Louise Birch. The paper says he was part American Indian
and Emma's family was from England. I found them in the 1910 census in NJ with their
son William. At the time, George was 62, Emma was 56, and William was 32. They had been
married 40 years in 1910. The census says Emma and her parents were born in NY.
George's family was from VT though George was born in NY. I don't know when
George and Emma moved to NJ, but it appears that all of their children were born there.
They had three living children, Walter who married Hazel Crolius, Jennie who married
Albertus Crolius, and William who never married and died in his forties. I can't seem
to find anything about George Chapin's family or Emma Birch's family.
Can anyone help me get farther back to find the parents of George or Emma?
