Jean, Thanks for the speedy reply. I was having a problem with Snider tonight while looking in the Sanford Website that Sandra Sanford has. The information in there seems to skip a generation according to what I have. My information is second hand though and I was trying to straighten it out. Here is what I have on Snider from my FTM file. Your line is perfect to compare notes with by the way. The same families! This is my wife's line (Paula Stanley). Descendants of John Shneider 1 John Shneider b: Bef. 1740 in Germany d: 23 September, 1763 in Congaree Settlement, Craven County, South Carolina ..+Mary ? b: Bef. 1740 in Germany d: 1756 in Orangeburg, Orangeburg County, South Carolina m: Bef. 1740 in Germany .2 William Snider b: Abt. 1742 in Germany d: 1778 in Congaree Settlement, Craven County, South Carolina ...3 Hans Jacob Snider b: 1762 in Congaree Settlement, Craven County, South Carolina d: Abt. 1810 in Juniper Community, Lexington County, South Carolina .......+Susannah Oswalt b: 1768 in South Carolina d: Abt. 1835 in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama m: Bef. 1782 in Lexington District, South Carolina ..... 4 Barbara Rebecca Snider b: 8 September, 1788 in Lexington District, South Carolina d: 2 March, 1867 in Center, Shelby County, Texas .........+William Samford b: 7 February, 1779 in Tide River, Lexington County, South Carolina d: 9 June, 1867 in Center, Shelby County, Texas m: 8 September, 1803 in Lexington, Oglethorpe County, Georgia Do you have this William Snider in generation 2 above? Anything farther back? I'll compare some Samford information next time. Thanks, Kerry Girolamo Groves, Texas
