Famous Skaggs: Albert Chadwell "Chad" Skaggs
"Chad" Skaggs wasn't a person most would consider famous, however, he was a very interesting guy who was a soldier, journalist, teacher, musician and outdoorsman. Any of these careers would have been enough for most, however Chad did all of them.

Skaggs Family Groups based on DNA Testing
It's time for an update on the Skaggs Y-DNA testing. We currently have 19 Skaggs who have taken the Big-Y DNA test and are descendants of Viking ancestors from the Isle of Man. We call these guys R1a Skaggs. We also have a few other Skaggs who are not part of this Isle of Man family and we call them the R1b Skaggs. Both are Skaggs, just two completely different families. Both are really interesting, however, in this post I'll discuss the R1a Skaggs and group them into families based on their DNA.
Zombie Killing with the Long Hunters
Does William Skaggs + David Skaggs = William David Skaggs? I don't think so, even with the New Math, however, somehow the genealogical lines for two of the Skaggs Longhunter brothers got crossed this way and a mutant "William David Skaggs" has taken on a life of his own. I'm going to risk wading into the shark-infested Long Hunter waters to try to drive a stake through the heart of this zombie.
