Hi All,
OK, I'd never heard our Bio Dict called the "Lost Chapman List" but I
guess that is what it is. They are the Chapman ancestors our CFA members
are searching for.
What you see on the CFA web site as the biographical dictionary is little
more than a prototype. We did Ohio because it was small and because that
was the "dead end" of web master Mari's Chapman line. We were moving on
with the Virginia division and posted the initial ancestor list for New
York. But had so many changes and problems with the Virginia Division that
we decided to slow down and do more work before posting the ancestor
division for others. In the fall issue of our CFA quarterly there will be
a draft list of all the ancestors in each division and a draft list of each
divison's members. From the feedback from that we will proceed to post
more on the web site.
Beyond that be looking for more stuff in the data bank area. As soon as
Mari and I can get over some crunch periods we should be adding new stuff
regularly the latter part of next month.
.. Gil Alford, CFA Corresponding Secretary.

This is the site I was talking about when I mentioned the "Lost Chapmans".
It's the
Biographical Dictionary section of the CFA website. I believe there are
only three states that are online so far. New York and Ohio are two of
them, which is why I was able to find Orvis and Haines.

Also, I didn't realize there was more than one Marsha on the list so from
now on I am going to sign my name as Mashane so there won't be so much
confusion.
Mashane (Marsha) descendant of Orvis Chapman & Electa Buck - trying to tie
Orvis' line into Haines Chapman and Jabez Chapman
