About the Skinner Family Association
The Skinner Family Association is a group of people who have organized their efforts in search of their Skinner ancestry.
Established in 1984, the pioneers of the Association wanted to have a place where they could collect material regarding the history and genealogy of the Skinner families and subsequently disseminate it to other researchers. The Association has grown to include lines not only from the United States, but also from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Great Britain. In 1986, the Skinner Family Association became a member of the Guild of One-Name Studies located in England. As a one-named study, we collect information on all Skinner lines, not just from one particular family line or ancestral couple.
The Skinner Scroll
The Skinner Scroll was designed by Sande Skinner of Chicago, Illinois, in 1985 We wanted something to relate to the idea of a skinner - a worker in hides and leather. Wrote Sande: "The vellum scroll is the connection as a leather worker had to prepare the animal skin to be suitable for writing."

WE NEED YOUR MONEY!
For years we have been able to piggyback on a server thanks to Bob Skinner. However, we've had to pack our electronic bags and find a new home. However, this one costs money. So please, if you're finding this site useful, please send us a few bucks so that we can pay the computer people to keep us online. We're asking for any contributions right now. Contributions will keep this site open for all!
Thanks for your support!
Over the years, many of you have made purchases through our partnership with Amazon.com, resulting in a small, but steady flow of income, enough to keep this website paid for. In 2012, tax laws were enacted forcing Amazon.com to discontinue partnerships with organizations. This has resulted in a loss of income for the Skinner Family Association. If you are interested in contributing to cover the costs of keeping this website up, please send cash, checks, or money orders to the address at the bottom of this page.
THANK YOU!
Send your cash (preferred) contributions (make checks out to Gregg Legutki) to:

Contacting the Skinner Family Association
Please note: We receive a very large volume of mail each week. We are unable to do individualized research on Skinner lines, but if you would like to add your information to our data base, please contact us. If you contact us with a Skinner question, it may take some time for us to answer you personally as we do not have a staff available to answer questions. (There's just one of me right now! We are waiting for the results of the cloning process.) If using snail mail, please include return postage and enough to cover copies and printing. Please be patient as we want to give each Skinner researcher the best possible research help. Thanks for understanding!
We now have a Facebook page. Please feel free to join us at
Skinner Family Association on Facebook
where you can post your questions about your Skinner ancestry.

We needed to split up that email address as it is being "mined" for spam email lists.
