In Search of My Schneider Ancestry

I’ve written multiple blog posts regarding my search for my Snyder/Schneider family ancestry, specifically the ancestors of Joseph Snyder (1826-1895) of Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. In recent years, I’ve had multiple occasions during which I needed to review those posts.

As a result, I decided to compile a list of posts in sequential order for myself and any other family member who wants to read about the journey. Some of these posts represent historical side trips, but this list should include any and all posts I’ve written regarding the family of Conrad and Catharina (Betz) Schneider.
