I have a snap shot of a database. In one of the tables some records have been deleted and I need to restore only the deleted rows from the snap shot. I am not sure how to do that. Thanks in advance for your help.

Can't you just do INSERT INTO/SELECT (from snapshot)?

Something like this will probably do the trick:

insert into prod
select snap.*
from mydbsnapshot.dbo.tablename snap
	left outer join mydb.dbo.tablename prod
		on snap.id = prod.id
where prod.id is null
