At 6:22am on July 11, 2008, Dafydd Crwynwr said…: Thanks for the friendship Donald. My surname is also Skinner, but my grandmother was a Davies. So we share two common names and I figured why not be friends. My Welsh fam is from South Wales around the Skewen, Port Talbot area. The Skinners I'm related to, came from Marion, Indiana by way of Ohio and originate in Fairfax, VA from around the time of the Civil War, but I don't know where they came from before that. Presumably, England. Cheers.
