Benvenuto Famiglia
"To all present and future generations I hope this site helps in your endeavor to find your roots." - Chataldo Skolyak
Several years ago my father, Chataldo Skolyak, received a call from a woman asking if he was the Skolyak that photographed a picture that was published in the newspaper. He was not, but out of curiosity, my dad started searching for other Skolyak's and started to record our family tree. This site is a continuation of his early (and ongoing) research and my participation and a request for yours. As you come across members of your family in this tree share the stories you know of them and their life for future generations to read. With your help our ancestors lives will come to life through the sharing of stories.
We have several family members on both sides working on the family tree and the many extended branches. A special thank you to my father, Chataldo Skolyak, Antonio Guarnieri (creator of Family Tree Guarnieri), Sandra Waters, Michael Kibel, Sean Homer, and Deb Homer for pictures and information as well as cousins I have recently come to know and meet.
