End of an Era
So it’s official today. After 11 years, my leland account at Stanford has finally been de-activated. The sponsorship I got from the advising department that kept it alive after my second graduation expired yesterday. So if you send email to chaps@stanford.edu, it will bounce. If you try to look at the website, http://www.stanford.edu/~chaps, you get “Access forbidden”. Of course, I hadn’t updated that website for years, but it’s still sad to see “Steve’s Not Yet Spiffy Website” go. I’ll probably repost it on my fieldapps website or somewhere when I have some time to be historical and sentimental.

Quite a bit of new ancestry info has been added to the Chappells Ancestry section of the website. This was instigated by the contact from Adrian Sheppard who provided data which verified that Jesse E. Chappell did, indeed, have an older sister, Sarah. Adrian was kind enough to provide some documentation and, spurred on by this, I got out my file and added a few more items out of it to the site, including a birth certificate for Jesse and a couple of letters from Bessie. I also did some revamping of a few pages. Overall, it’s been kind of an exciting genealogy week. The great mystery remains, however: Who was Jesse’s father? :scratchin:
