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.​
