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.

Hi Anthony. Here are some changes from my dad:    

  • clark, helbert=CLARK, HILBERT HOLT (GRANDFATHER)MAR 12,1925 TO SEP 1965    
  • guarnieri, angelo=GUARNIERI, ANGELO (GRANDUNCLE)MAY17,1911 TO DEC 8, 1988    
  • guarnieri, donny=jan 4 1949 to may 2, 1968 (died in a gang fight)    
  • guarnieri, mark=jun 15,1950 to jul 19,1963 (died falling out of a high tree)    
  • lowery, mary=(GRANDMOTHER) SEP 27, 1925 TO OCT 1, 1977    

AND OF COURSE IT'S LUTRO not Lutre. 

Be sure to thank him.     Also Uncle Joe changed his name to GARNER because too many of his sons were getting killed (Carl on a motorcycle)(Donnie in a fight)Mark (falling out of a tree) and his daughter Gloria lost her mind a little after Carl died, then his wife (Dolly)had a stroke and his job moved 70 miles from where he lived. And somehow he blamed the family for awhile and changed their names.     Thanks,     Michelle
