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.

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.
