The Snyder-Erwin-Miller Families: From Pennsylvania to Missouri (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781493690213)

After the Civil War (1860-1865), many new areas of the country were opened up for settlement. John George Snyder and his wife, Sarah Stambaugh, were among the families that moved West, settling in Callaway County, Missouri, where they prospered. Over the passage of time, the ties to relatives back in Pennsylvania became blurred and often forgotten. Such was the case with the ancestors of John George Snyder. The only things left to work with in trying to extend the Snyder line backwards in time were John George's Bible, given to soldiers during the Civil War, and a handful of family photos. Because of the photographs, contact was made with another Snyder family researcher who was able to help piece together some of the family history. Much is still left to be uncovered. This book strives to give as many available facts as possible in the hope that future researchers will be able to trace the family tree further back. Also, information about John George Snyder's descendants has been outlined, including ties to other Callaway County families.
