George; Creator of Synder Online, will be sharing with us his story and how a person can research, track, investigate and document your linage through website creations.

"This web site is dedicated to the support, and the facilitation of my research and investigation into my pedigree along with stories of the individuals who labored in their life to add to the gene pool of my life. The hope is to do justice and honor to my family in this project and the aim is to develop a page or more of life stories per family group. The major surnames at the left are those back to my GGGGrandparents and include two adoptive families who had early and continued influence in my life." George Snyder
