They show as Nicholas Snow of Yorkshire & Elizabeth Snow based on an old family tree study. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Snow-253 currently shows as “parents unknown” with good citations, but no (visible) discussion of any disputed evidence.

Geni practice is to disconnect Puritan Great Migration parentage unless reasonably supported, and this is a Mayflower passenger collateral family (his wife, Rebecca Snow). If further evidence presents, they can always be re attached.

Thoughts, Hatte Anne Blejer ?

I am a Snow descendant through the Williams - Snow marriage. It's actually still a hypothesis that my Snow ancestress is a descendant of this line, but that's why I curate.

If The Great Migration Begins does not have parents for William Snow, husband of Rebecca Brown, I am fine with detaching them. I believe I am responsible for the second reference (Gulbangi - Five Families). I usually trust that source.

Vol III of The Great Migration Begins only has a Nicholas Snow married to Constance Hopkins, That's the only volume I have unpacked actually, so I can't look up Rebecca Brown. Apparently, William Snow is mentioned in an earlier volume pp 258, 261.
