Hello. I was interested in learning the origins of the last name "Snyder." I've been told that it's of German origin. However, I have heard of people who were full blooded Irish with the last name Snyder. To complicate matters more, I had a relative named "Harry Gilmore Snyder," "Gilmore" being a name of Scotts-Irish origin. Everyone tells me he was German, but I find it hard to believe 2 immigrants from Germany would give their son an Irish middle name. I have come to the conclusion that either both his parents were Irish, or at least his mother was Irish and her maiden name was Gilmore. Is there any way to research this? We have his social security card, if that helps any. Any thoughts?

How is Leda described? What words suggest her helplessness? What phrase suggest the swan's mystery and divinity? And what events are alluded in the lines

"The broken wall, the burning roof and tower
And Agamemnon dead."

I would like to find the value for a couple of old books and may even consider selling. The first is The Art of Baking by H Hueg dated 1905 and the second is The Western World Guide and Handbook dated approximately 1884-1888. This is an atlas/almanac published by Western World. Can anyone tell me how much they are worth? The guide is one that I can find no information about. It has the Unisted States while there were still territories so it is very interesting historically.

liar

Built upon your house of cards,
My heart in pieces, razor sharp shards.
Lies are what you do best,
Rodents, insects, you my pest.

You play with my feelings dear,
Checking out others with a leer.
Someday soon your time will come,
I'll make sure your days are done.

Deep within the depths of hell,
Brimstone, fire, a tolling bell.
All the times you fooled me girl,
Your heart's as tiny as a pearl.

Even though you think you've won,
I know you;ll never see the sun.
Fire cleanses I've been told.
Corpses, bones and bitter cold.

As you ponder what went wrong,
Satans minions sing a song.
I'm glad you're gone you evil whore,
As I speak, Hell spews forth more.

I know the term came into use in Nazi, Germany where the government ordered doctors to euthanasize citizens, but I'm not sure of the time period of this. Also was there any time before this where euthanasia was practiced?

It's exactly the same as the A minor chord, except the D string is open. So it looks like this:

E--0-----
B--1-----
G--2-----
D--0-----
A--0-----
E---------

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I'm writing a play and I had to make a few changes. For example, the person who was cast to be a maid is a male. So of course I need to change the maid to a butler. Now, I see him as a British butler, so what are some classic British names for a butler?
