Skews, James Edward

Hi Simon
It know it is so exciting to find information regarding our family tree!  This summer I visited Gravesend, Kent for the first time and was able to see the house that William Skews had lived in and the surrounding area.  Fabulous!  I had wondered if any of my relatives had traveled to New Zealand and glad to hear about you.  My grandfather was Edward Skews, and he emigrated to Canada in the early 1900's.  They lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba and we moved to Vancouver many years ago.  I was in contact with Keith Skues and he was delighted to find another arm of the Skews family tree.  He did not know about my grandfather and his family in Canada and will add this to the revised book.  I would be delighted to share information, but we have just moved and all my notes are put away for safekeeping.  K contacted me not long ago and it has made me interested to pursue this once again, a little earlier than I had anticipated.  He has some wonderful information and is great at finding details!  Anything I can do to help, just let me know.  Cheers and have a great day!  Barbara (Skews) Kosick

I have just been reading all this fascinating information and it been lovely to hear all that you have been saying as it has confirmed the information that I have found, William Skews 1787 is about my 4x great grandfather and I am a descendant of George skews. I have got stuck on finding William's parents and can only find his mother listed as Sarah, I was just wondering if you had been successful in tracing or finding out any more information?

Hello. I received your message re finding William Skews’ parents. I haven’t looked into this for some time now and enjoyed reading over all the information. No I haven’t found any further information on the Skews family tree, but would love too!  You are a descendant of George Skews?  Are you still in England?  I am located in Canada. Maybe we can share what we have found?

Hello, yes I am a descendant of George Skews, we are still in England. I am still getting my head round the Skews family tree (I am currently doing a couple of others at the same time). Can you remind me which Skews you a descendant from?
