CHAPMAN, PRATT posted by Barbara Stephens on Monday, July 7, 1997

I am looking for information on my Grandparents. Grandfather's name was Alva G. CHAPMAN, Grandmother's name was Florence PRATT. My Father was born June 24, 1918. At the time of his birth they lived at 1114 Benton St., Rockford, Ill. My Father's name at time of birth was Edwin Chapman. He was adopted on June 7, 1921. I know they had at least 1 other child. At the time of the signing of the adoption papers, My Grandfater lived at 513 Jefferson St. in Rockford, Ill. and my Grandmother lived in Dixon, Ill. Year of birth for both would be between 1895 and 1997. When my Father was in his early twenties he found his sister. There was a newpaper write-up about this and their Father saw it and contacted them. They refused to see him, but my Father said he was a sheriff in Wheaton, Ill. at that time. I am interested in any info available, and would greatly appreciate any help given.
