Family Tree

I've been fascinated by genealogy since I was a kid, and about a year ago I decided it was time to get serious about documenting my family tree. After about a year of research, I have taken it about as far as I can. I've been using software called Family Tree Maker, which allows you to publish your family tree to a web page, which is what I've done. The Chapin/Bourkney Family Tree can be viewed at http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/c/h/a/Ted-Chapin/index.html. On this web site you can view an index of individuals, which lists data for that individual and allows you to traverse the family tree by clicking on links for parents and offspring. A plus sign next to a child's name indicates that person has children of their own. Another way to navigate the family tree is by following the InterneTree link, which displays a graphical family tree.

I hope you have fun browsing the family tree, and if you're a relative of Chris or Ted, by all means send us any data you have - birth days, locations, marriage dates, middle names, anything on any relatives - in-laws, half-siblings, step-children. We want to make it as complete as possible and a useful reference for anyone in the family.
