I obviously have very little skill in genealogy. I am trying to confirm the parents of Giles Mathis Chapman, born abt 1796 in Newberry county, SC. Died abt 11Dec1865 in Crawford, GA. I am also trying to determine if Gil’s Mathis’ son was Louis or Lewis Otis Chapman, born abt 1829 in GA. Thanks for any help you can provide. Willgetsmail@gmail.com

Hello everyone!

I'm putting a together a presentation for this June's Chapman Family Association conference in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The topic is Major Migrations from Europe to the American colonies/United States from approximately 1620-1920. I'd love to hear your ancestor's story - and not necessarily just your Chapman ancestors. Please reply with where in Europe (town, region, country) they emigrated from, where in North American they went to, when, and why (if you know). I'd love to include some of your ancestors in my presentation!

Thanks in advance!
