The Skillmans of America website is hosted by our Genealogist, Bill Skillman, and is an excellent resource for Skillman genealogical information.
Selena Post, an SFA Member in good standing has written a new book entitled Beyond DNA: Inheriting Spiritual Strength from the Women in Your Family Tree. The book includes inspirational stories about many of the women in Selena’s family tree, including Annie Skillman, daughter of F. Robert J. Skillman (1813-1890) of Baltimore. For more details, go to www.amazon.com where you’ll see the cover, a description, some reviews, and you can use the “search inside” tool to read parts of the book.
