Dear Bernadette,
I think you might find the information on the Dominican general chapters in 
Angelus Walz's Compendium Historiae Ordinis Praedicatorum, Rome, Pontificium 
Athenaeum <<Angelicum>>, 1948.

If you can't get this book, I can look it up for you when I get to my 
university library later this week (I'm finishing off a PhD thesis on St 
Dominic).

Best wishes,
John Cochrane
