Dear List,
My brother has consented to do the DNA Testing for our CHAPMAN line. I'd
like some input as to who I should use, how many markers to test etc.? When I've
seen results I'm totally overwhelmed and have read from some people they've
just been left to fend for themselves as to who they are connected to. I'd
really like some solid answers for myself as I've been tracking my Chapman's for
about 20 years and had NO verbal family history to go on.
I did have a break recently from combing through (free) old NY newspapers
online. I found my great grandfather's brother and his location on a published
probate will. Eugene Chapman was in New Jersey.
I'm going to add that on below.
I need the link to:
John R. Chapman b. about 1808 NY d. Sept. 1873 Manlius, Onondaga, NY. His
short obit said he lived in Manlius for 45 years. John R. married Sophronia
Huntley she was born in Manlius and I have her line.

d. Aft. 1900 in Newark, Essex, NJ
2. Adelbert Chapman b. Sept 1844 Fayetteville, Onondaga, NY d.
Syracuse, Onondaga, NY
3. Eugene Chapman b. 1847 Fayetteville, Onondaga, NY d. Jersey
