Message Board Post:
I am looking for any information about Ralph Chaplin married to Grace E. Hansen. I found
him on the 1940 census. He is listed as a Chicago police officer. I found one newspaper
(Southeast Economist Dec. 21, 1939)article mentioning him. I can not find him anywhere
else. There is no death certificate. He is not on the CPD memorial page. I don't know
where he was born or what year (I can guess from the 1940 census), I don't know his
family so I can't go back to the previous census to trace our heritage. The census
asks where were you living in 1935 and it states Same Place so I will safely say that they
were living @ 119 64th St in Chicago, Cook County, IL.
My mom's birth certificate says R. Chaplin as the father but that is all. My brother
said that he heard Ralph was murdered when my mom was a little girl and Grace remarried in
1945. I have not found any information on the murder if it happened. Like I said, any
information to help find past relatives would be appreciated. Thank you.
