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 4 - Dorothy Elam, Toyce McNeil Snyder, Demie McNeil Snyder, and Genie McNeil Sebastian
Left: Neighbor, Dorothy Elam, in Winston-Salem, N.C. Tom (Wiley Thomas Snyder, 1892-1988) and his wife Nora McNeil Snyder (1900-1992) lived at 721 Devonshire St. Winston-Salem from 1919 until 1924. In the 1920 census, Dorothy is 8 years old, and living at 717 Devonshire. (Note that Devonshire Street was later renumbered.)
Middle: Nora's sister, Toyce Etta McNeil Snyder (1905-1969), at the Reynolds Memorial in Winston-Salem. This photo appears to have been taken about 1923, based on the other photos of Reynolds Memorial. Toyce married Tom's brother, John B. Snyder (1894-1969) in 1930. So the children of Tom and Nora, and the children of Toyce and John, are double first cousins.
Right: Nora's twin sisters (fraternal):
Seated is Mattie Lodemia McNeil Snyder (1905-1997). She was called "Demie". She married Tom's brother, Donald Vance Snyder (1903-1986), so their children are double first cousins to the children of Tom and Nora, and to the children of Toyce and John.
Genie was Mary Logenia McNeil Sebastian (1905-1966).
