Melanie Snyder To-Do List

Profile manager: Melanie Stewart [send private message]

Totally forgot I had this to do list.

Working on a redo of my tree. Setting aside my Ahnenafel for now.

A. Ancestry B. FamilySearch C. Wikitree D. Sort pictures E. Sort hard copies

1. My tree: a. Parent sources (hard copies) b. grandparent sources and info -redo Grandma and grandpa Snyder’s pages c. aunts, uncles, first cousins, etc. -redo Reg and Nancy’s pages

d. Really focus on adding indirect lines. Verify with dna. 2. Mike’s tree

Long term - update MyHeritage tree. Will need paid account to do so.

Brick walls: Samuel Snyder - was he a descendant of Jacob Ludwig Snider? My dna confirms it. Others have connected him to George Christian Snyder and John George Snyder, son of John brother of Jacob Ludwig. DNA seems to confirm it was not John George.

Research notes:

- McClaughlin. Dad recalls hearing the stories about his Scottish McClaughlin family as a kid. No such known direct descent.

• who was Biddie J Snyder, niece of Robert Brown Snyder?
• who was the Lebo which Esther Snyder married?
• who was Thomas Middleton, born about 1872 in Scotland? shows in 1910 census record for Katie Middleton Charleston. what happened to Katie's 2 children who died early? who were Wilbur and Lizzie Bishard, William Charleston's (1877) cousins? who was Labanna Rohrbeck, stepfather to John Middleton Charleston?
• 1870 - John Balles of England living with John Robson. who was he?
• Louisa Lefever - cousin has mentioned family lore was she was first cousin to Napoleon.
• Mary Lusis Reed - daughter of John Lewis and Elizabeth Bates Jones? DNA seems to confirm it. No proof.
• Augustine Bickerstaff- descendant of perhaps Samuel Biggerstaff? Seems to be a connection with the Biggerstaffs and Friends. Naming convention suggests perhaps his father was Samuel: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Biggerstaff-99
