CHAPMAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION
A Genealogical Society
CONFERENCES
Come join the fun.
The Chapman Family Association (CFA) meets each year in June. Each conference is intended to bring together members of the various Chapman families to discuss our research efforts, share ideas and techniques, and develop methods each of us can use to enhance the breath and depth of our family lines.
Meeting places are selected by the membership present at the annual meeting for the meeting two years ahead. The meeting place for this year was selected by the members in meetings two years ago. The place for next year was selected last year.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS - 2026 CHAPMAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE
This will be the 25th year of our conferences and we're going back to a place we have visited before that has probably the best genealogical research facility in the country - The FamilySearch Library, formerly the Family History Center.

We'll have an orientation and spend research time at the FamilySearch Library on both Friday and Saturday afternoon. The library is within easy walking distance of our hotel. We'll also have some presentations from CFA members and discussion groups on collecting and preserving our family history and genealogical research, current DNA methods updates, local history and some ancestor discussion.
