CHAPMAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION
A Genealogical Society
CHAPMAN DNA PROJECT
The Chapman DNA Project is sponsored by the Chapman Family Association (CFA) under the auspices of FamilyTreeDNA (FTDNA). Established in the early 1990’s, the CFA was formed to be a focal point for genealogists researching Chapman lines. In 1994, the association was incorporated and today has membership of over 700 members.
Early in the development of genetic testing, Dan Chapman of the CFA, began tracking genealogically oriented genetic testing, and in 2004 began the Chapman Y-DNA Project.
The Chapman DNA project is primarily focused on Y-DNA Chromosomal testing as the Y-Chromosome is passed from biological father to biological son, generation after generation. Males alive today can trace their lineage into the very distant past. The father to son convention also applies to the Chapman surname as it is typically passed from father to son.
The Chapman DNA Project is focused on supporting the genealogical research of individuals who have a genealogical connection to a Chapman line or whose genealogy is allied to a Chapman line. FTDNA provides test product discounts to individuals who order their products through The Chapman DNA Project portal accessed by the following link:

Orders executed via this link not only receive the aforementioned discount, but are automatically enrolled in the Chapman DNA Project.
The focus of the project is to serve individuals who meet one or more of the following criteria:
-
The candidate’s surname is Chapman and has taken one or more Y-DNA genetic tests
-
The candidate’s “Matches” from the FTDNA Y-DNA test report include at least one Chapman surnamed match
-
The candidate has at least one autosomal (atDNA) Chapman match
While the Chapman DNA Project has no initial restrictions on using the above portal to order test products, the Project Administrators may audit membership from time to time to insure that the goals of the project and of members are being well served.
