After Chirstopher, it took two generations before the last name Schneider gave way to the much easier to spell Snyder. It is not known if the change was intentional or not, but the cultural indeterminateness introduced by the change persists to this day. Nevertheless, the Snyder/Schneider clan of Hachenburg has made its mark in the States, fighting in the Civil War (perhaps the Revolutionary War), and generally making itself known.

This website attempts to provide a place for the Snyders to hang their hats. There are a number of interesting photos, important dates in Snyder history, and even some of their favorite things to eat (sadly, mostly devoid of German food.)
