Hello again Maureen,

Sorry I've taken so long to respond. I'm searching and searching for our kinfolk. I don't give up easily. I got sidetracked awhile by a couple of other family lines and sent some files to those relatives who had requested them. But this family doesn't seem to have any connections anywhere.

Thanks for the information about the Chapter siblings. It helps a lot. I know very little. But I'm looking through census and Websites for anything that might put a light on them. That German ancestry baffles me, because the name Chapter does not appear in any of the German surnames I've studied. I'm going to check the English possibility next. I wish records would not contradict each other. I guess that's part of it though. I'd love to travel to New York one day and see what I can find. But that doesn't appear to be in the near future. I sent for a tax photo of the place where William and Mary Pauline lived when she died. It doesn't really tell me anything about them, but I was curious.

I do want to keep in touch and will let you know of my progress. Yes, I have hopes. And should you discover any interesting tidbits, please let me know.

Happy hunting,

Beverly
