Hi, Skeffingtons!

This might not (necessarily) help any of us in our particular family research, but I discovered a very interesting monograph by one William Skyvington (who lives in France) at this website:

http://gamone.free.fr/skeffington/

Unfortunately, it's not a web-based document, but links to several Microsoft Word documents--but if you're able to read Word documents, I would highly recommend downloading them and reading through. William gives a fascinating account of his own lineage, as well as interesting Skeffington tid-bits dating to Norman times. Plus, he includes a good number of images and genealogical charts. He suspects there's a link between the Canadian Skeffingtons from Ireland (of interest to me) and the Skeffingtons of Antrim, but I suppose that remains for one of us to discover!

If you'd like, I'll forward the email he sent to me--just let me know.

William's email address is "sky.william@wanadoo.fr".

Sincerely,
Howard Skeffington
