Snider came to

John's wife was Martha Ann Murphy 
My great-grandfather William
Henry Snider and his wife Viola (née Viola Dunkleberger)
lived in
upstate New York, first Lockport then Ellicottville. They had about
14 sons and daughters, of whom my grandfather John Henry Snider was
the oldest son, born in 1910.
We have a family reunion of all William's descendants (as many as can make it) around the 4th of July every three years in Ellicottville. The latest was 2014, the next will be 2017.

I know there are people doing Snider family research, but I haven't been keeping up with any of them. If you have links to Snider web pages, please email me!
