The publication of the Skinner Family Association is the Skinner Kinsmen Update (SKU). Begun in 1984, it is dedicated to research regarding the Skinner Family name. SKU is published quarterly - January, April, July and October. Articles in SKU are contributed by our members and our readers. Queries regarding Skinners and Skinner descendants are printed free of charge.

The cost for an annual subscription (January - December) is $16.50 ($20.00 overseas). (Please make check(s) payable to Gregg Legutki, and mail to: PO Box 2594, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 USA.)
