Biography
Chet Snow is a descendant of Mayflower Passenger Constance (Hopkins) Snow.
Chet Snow is the descendant of a Huguenot emigrant.
I was born at the end of WW II in Paterson, NJ, where my father was employed as a mechanical engineer at the Wright Aeronautical works, helping develop jet aircraft engines during that conflict. My parents met when both were students at Penn State University in State College, PA. Both my grandfathers were also professors at Penn State until they retired. All are now deceased. I have one older brother, retired from the US Federal Government, in Florida.
I went to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, alma mater of my maternal grand-father, for whom I am named, and I later did graduate work in history at the Sorbonne in Paris, France, at Columbia University and at the Institute for Advanced Studies, up to my doctorate in social history. I taught college history for a while until I decided Academia, with all its committees, was not for me.
In the 1970s I moved to Napa, California; since 1994 I have lived in Sedona, with my wife, born in France, and whom I met while living in Paris doing research in the 1980s. We have no children and I am now retired.
Recently (2013) I was "bitten by the genealogical bug" and discovered Wikitree, whose easy access and community ethics appealed to me. In a relatively short time, I have found answers to many of my questions about different branches of my family, such as that my Snow relatives and I are descendants of 2 Mayflower passengers... I have therefore set up a Snow one-name study page (although I haven't had much time to work on it yet!) and added DNA testing to my biography.
I am always open to new information, corrections anywhere on my Tree (with Sources, please!), and to finding new distant cousins from my Snow, Bonine, Weston, Whiteman +/or other related lineages.
As I am bilingual in French, I will be happy to assist Wikitree researchers seeking short translations etc. from that language too.en

Amazing I’m coming to you thru both of my parents White/Cook And I’m so sorry I need so much help in just adding my ancestors. Including you & family since we’re related Is it difficult to transfer Pre 1500-1700 ancestors into my tree or will I need help. If the new list of family names you posted for Barnabas Cooke Sr could be injected to my tree then my DNA could be matched, right. I have a way to go Sincerely Darrel PS: what’s your specialty field as a Doctor

Hope to see you!!
https://www.linvillefamily.us/LFA-o/g0/p1.htm#i3 had no son named William. Someone must have changed the profile but their info is pretty impressive. maybe you could move that info to William's profile before removing it. Thanks for the input.
Thanks for your attention to the Chastains, ancestors of my late wife. You have seen all I know or should not have accepted about them. I was surprised when I encountered the spelling Chastan, but assumed that it was another of those which had been in use, as Chasteen was in more recent generations, but I have no attachment to this. I have plenty of cases in other lines where I have seen even correct sources on FS used incorrectly, so I welcome corrections from those who have researched it. I was lucky that I was able to come up with enough about Chasteen/Chastains who were alive in my wife's youth to jog her memory to the point of choosing whom I believe are the correct ones. She wasn't willing to take DNA test, although not at all embarrassed about her ancestry nor the lies told on official records even down to 1917. I have probable and possible Huguenot ancestors myself, but don't know of anyone trying seriously to get them straight. As for Penn State, I have ancestors whose degrees there led to those Chester county families of 150 years beginning to more around the country, and I worked on aircraft engines with several people who studied there.
