I created this blog to share stories and information about my maternal ancestors from Wilkes County, North Carolina. My mother, grandmother, and other relatives shared many family stories with me. As I recall these stories, I will share my journey to find the truth, as well as genealogy tips I learn.

Grandma's Photo Album - Page 37 - Snyder Double First Cousins in Wilkes County, NC
(Left) Brother and sister in the front yard of their parents' farmhouse in Millers Creek, Wilkes County, NC. Ralph Lewis Snyder (1932-1993) and Carrie Mae Snyder (1926-2001). It appears this photo was taken in the late 1940's or early 1950's. Ralph and Carrie were children of Wiley Thomas Snyder (1892-1988) and Nora Bessie McNeil Snyder (1900-1992).

The three people above are double first cousins of the three children in the next photo.
(Right) My grandmother's sister Demie and her three kids. At left is Mattie Lodemia McNeil Snyder (1908-1997), with her son Paul (living) at the back. At the right is Clara Louise Snyder Church (1930-1998) and in front is Martha (living). This photo was taken in front of my grandparents' farmhouse on Pleasant Home Church Road in Millers Creek.
These are double first cousins because Wiley Thomas Snyder's brother (Donald Vance Snyder, 1903-1986) married Nora Bessie McNeil's sister, Mattie Lodemia McNeil.
