Sources: Most of the information gathered in these pages was obtained from the Internet, historical reference books at the library, legal documents, and from obituaries.
Disclaimer: There may be errors that require correction. The web page Changes will indicate any corrections or changes made to the web site, allowing you to track any changes since your last visit to the website. You can also help me complete the Jacob’s Descendents page and the Brief Biographies. Please use the Contact tab to let me know of any corrections, changes or biographies you would like to post to the website.
Pictures: Eventually I will add more Pictures of our ancestors or locations of interest. Please use the Contact tab to email any pictures you wish to have published on this website, including a brief description of the picture.
I would especially like to thank Sunny Snyder and my wife, Donna, for their continued help and support in completing this project.
