</noinclude> Peter Robert Chapman (born July 1, 1959) is the creator and designer of the genealogy website Chapysrealm.com, a site dedicated to the history and lineage of the Chapman, Mackenzie, Boudreau families. Research & Works In 1972 Peter's father, “Robert Vernon Chapman” began researching his Chapman genealogy with nothing more then a few names that his father had scribbled down on a piece of paper. Using that as a starting point, their Sunday family drives would often end up at a cemetery looking for and recording information that would provide clues to the links of their past. The trips to the cemeteries evolved into trips to libraries, museums and such or where ever a source of information could be found Without the aid of a computer for the first 20 - 25 years his persistence and thirst for new information allowed him to trace his ancestors back to the earliest known Chapman’s to arrive in the New World. From there the genealogy would fan out to about 4000 family connections. Robert's enthusiasm eventually spread and in 1995(apprx), Peter became inflicted with the genealogy bug and the never ending hunger for new information. Today with both Peter and Robert trying to feed our obsession, our combined research has given us connections to over 16,000 individuals has also grown to include the families of BOUDREAU, MEALEY, MORAN, COCHRAN, LANDRY, DUNBAR, MACKENZIE, DOIRON/GOULD, SIMPSON and LIRET/LAURETTE.
