I got this site off of another list. It is a great one! I did a simple search on my surnames and got many hits. I heartily recommend visiting the "National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections," also known as NUCMC, at: http://lcweb.loc.gov/coll/nucmc/nucmc.html Click here for an explaination about the "National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections"

Jan Byrnes provided a great long list of several and various links on 9/10/1998. I placed them at the bottom of the page  as Jan's Links. Here's her introduction.

Here are some links that Skiles researchers may find useful.  You will have to use your "find in page" function to find some of these ancestors, because the name or names may be included in a large body of text.  It may just be one small piece of information, or it may be an entire multi-generational family tree of Skiles.  These links will always be "under construction" because new information is constantly being added to the internet.   So,  if you know where there we can find Skiles' genealogy information on the internet that is not included in the links below, please send me  the address.  I'm working on a list of links to direct you to information about surnames that sound similar to Skiles, hoping that some of these links will lead you to information you are searching for.  You know what phonetics and census takers can do to a name.  I'll be adding lots of different names to this list as time permits.  For your convenience, I have also included some general links you may find helpful to get you started if you're not sure where to look. Happy hunting to all.
Jan

Eventually, we will incorporate all of these links into "Jan's Links." If you have any sugggestions for format, speak now. Dale Jay Frie
