Descendants of Jacob Schneider
Notes on the manuscript from JoAnn Cupp:
- Individuals assigned a number in parenthesis are found later in the text, assigned the same number, with additional information.
- JoAnn Cupp numbered the source superscripts sequentially as they appeared in the text, so that the same source appeared in the bibliography many times under a variety of numbers. We have re-numbered the bibliography to give each source a single number, and made the corresponding changes to the text superscripts.
- Our direct line ancestors are presented in bold typeface in the main outline.
