Hi!
John Wesley Chappell was my ggg-uncle. I am descended
from his brother, Joseph Grisham Chappell, who married
Terrissa Gantt. I have a huge database on this line of
Chappell's along with pics, obits, death certs,
stories, military records, and etc. My line goes:
James Chappell/Abigail Boren, Joseph Grisham
Chappell/Terrissa Gantt, William Martin
Chappell/Eveline Patterson, Luner Elizabeth
Chappell/Elliott Marion Cantrell, SR, Jake Richard
Cantrell/Paula Josefa Hintermeier, and then me,
Patricia A. Cantrell.

Hi!
I descend from Chappell's that were living in
Pickens County, SC. We are stuck on James Chappell,
born ca. 1801 in SC and died prior to the 1860 census.
All we really know about him is approximate year of
birth, marriage to Abigail Boren ca. 1833, inclusion
in the 1850 Pickens County, SC census, and a possible
sister, Delilah Chappell, who was born ca. 1815 who
married James Boren.
A Chappell DNA study would be beneficial to my family
in learning which branch of Chappell's that we descend
from. Oral history tells us that our Chappell's were
from Newberry County, SC; however, there is no
documented proof. I know of a couple of direct male
descendants who would be willing to take the DNA test.
Patricia Cantrell
ggg-granddaughter of James Chappell and Abigail Boren

Great idea. My CHAPPELL/CHAPEL line is pretty far
back, and I don't know of any living males that still
carry the name in my family, but knowing where they
were generally from, it would be great to see a DNA
study where I might see a line that looks to likely
connect to mine.

Hello Chappell Cousins...
I was wondering IF there is a CHAPPELL DNA Co-ordinator? Many surnames
today have one.
Since I have yet to see any information that there is one set up for the
CHAPPELL'S.
Thought I would ask.
I am well aware that many CHAPPELL decendants already know to which
CHAPPELL family tree they belong.
But there are many of us out here who haven't a clue!
If there is a DNA group set up for CHAPPELL'S already...please let me know
how to contact the co-ordinator.
I have a male CHAPPELL cousin willing to participate at some future date.
Thanks!

They were married in Iosco, Turner Township 19 April 1899. Lewis lists Joseph Chappell and Margaret (Condro?) as his parents. Lewis is 30 years old and Hulda is 16 years old. Lewis' mothers surname is on the spine of the registry and the clerk's handwriting of Margaret's name is unreadable except for the very clear "C" in the beginning. There is a Joseph Chappell on the 1880 census who is widowed with a son named Lewis whose mother is listed to be born in Ireland. Hulda says she does not know where she was born or who her parents are.
Gladys' daughter, Roberta (my mom) says she thinks that Hulda might have been running away from someone.

| SEARCH ENGINE TIPS
| by Mike Jarvis
|
| As genealogists in today's high-tech world, the importance of using search
| engines properly is ever increasing. With genealogy related web sites
making
| up a huge part of our World Wide Web, we would like to share some search
| engine tips that perhaps a few you will find helpful. There is much that
| could be written about this, but we will focus only on a few tips that we
| find most helpful. We use [ and ] to indicate terms that would be written
in
| a search box.
|
| First - The use of quotation marks. When using a combination of words in
the
| search box, the search engine results will include every web page where
| these words occur anywhere on that page regardless of whether these words
| are immediately next to each other. Using the search term of [family
| history ] will result in 109,000,000 hits while ["family history"] within
| quotations will result in 5,400,000 hits. This is because in the second
| instance it is only finding pages were the words are actually next to or
| immediately touching each other. Try this with a family name. For example
my
| grandmother is named Flora MacDonald. If I search [Flora McDonald ] in
| Google it returns 251,000 hits. Putting ["Flora MacDonald"] in quotations
| results in 29,600 hits. This is far too many hits and primarily relate to
a
| prominent woman in Scottish and American history. This is not my
| grandmother. However, knowing that my grandmothers middle name was
Hermosa,
| it makes sense to put ["Flora Hermosa MacDonald"] in the search box and I
| get two hits related specifically to my grandmother. Success!
|
| Second - The use of the minus sign. This is my second favorite search tip.
| Using any combination of words in a search box with the minus sign
directly
| next to a word that you DO NOT want to find is also helpful. Using the
| search term ["Flora MacDonald" -Scotland -Scottish -"North Carolina" -NC ]
| will eliminate any pages from my search that includes the words next to
the
| minus sign. So I will get only those pages that have my grandmother's name
| and do not have Scotland or North Carolina on the site. This effectively
| reduces the number of sites by more than half, from 29,600 to 12,800 hits.
| Using quotation marks and the minus sign in combination greatly improves
| your search results.
|
| Third - The use of the plus sign. The plus sign has the effect of
| instructing the search engine to give special emphasis to any word where
the
| plus sign is against it. My grandmother's father was Alexander MacDonald.
| However, not the Alexander MacDonald who was prime minister of Canada.
Using
| the search term [Flora MacDonald -Scotland -Scottish -"North Carolina" -NC
| +"Alexander MacDonald" -Canada ] gives me 1 hit that directs me to a site
| about my grandmother. Here we have combined quotation marks with the minus
| sign and the plus sign
|
| Fourth - The site search. Let's say that I would like to find Alexander
| MacDonald, however, I only want to search a particular domain. I would
| simply use the search phrase ["Alexander MacDonald" site:rootsweb.com ].
| Rather than thousands of hits I get 204. Similarly, you could put a minus
| sign in front of rootsweb.com so that it searches all domains except
| Rootsweb.
|
| Fifth - The intitle search term. Suppose that you would like to find every
| site on the Web with the word genealogy in the title. The search box would
| need the term [intitle:genealogy ], which would result in 943,000 hits.
| Similarly, use the term [intitle:genealogy -site:ancestry.com ] and you
| eliminate 3000 sites related to ancestry.com. One more: try using the term
| [intitle:genealogy -site:com ] which will have the effect of eliminating
all
| domains with the.com extension (commercial sites).
|
| Sixth - The related search term: If you like to know which sites are
similar
| to your own then use the term as follows: [related:USGenWeb.org]. Results
| will vary with Google providing 31 similar sites and Yahoo serving up
35,000
| related sites.
|
| Nearly all of these terms will work in most search engines. If you'd
rather
| not type in the shorthand for many of these tips, the search engines will
| typically have an advanced search page which will do essentially the same
| thing. Try: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en Good hunting!
