As some of you may know, I've been chasing my descendents of william
Chapman from New London, CT. I have added all the data I obtained from
the Chapman Book of my database and am now trying to verify it. In the
course of my chasing Chapmans in CT. I have managed to obtian copies of
a few of the Vital Records Index's held by some Town Clerks. I have
looked through them and compared them to the descendent line of William
Chapman.
Since it may help someone else out there, I am listing my findings here.
Now, I have NOT verified any of this. In fact, all of these people are
not in my direct line, so I won't be going after the data for quite some
time, if ever.
If anyone chases any of it down and can verify it, please let me know.
I'll up date my to-list according.
Again, hopefully someone will find it usefull.
