Cousin Skinner
Skinner aka Patrick Joseph Logan was my Great-Great-Uncle.
I don't know much about him except he came over with my Great-Grandmother, Mary Logan Evans, from Ireland when they were small.

I'm not sure why he was called Skinner or why we all call him cousin instead of uncle.

The Paz's
This entry is to be about an entire family - one that we simply call "The Paz's".
On my maternal side, my great-grandmother was Mary Logan. Mary's sister Catherine married Xavier F. Pazderski who was the "first Paz".
Paz was known as a big burly Polish man that worked as a firefighter. The couple had two son's and my family has maintained the closest bond with his son, John Pazderski's family. Two of John's children are still living and one, known as Cousin Dick passed away several years ago.
When I was younger, John's daughter Carol (along with her husband) lived with us in Arizona for a bit. Carol shared family recipes, photos, and I have very fond memories of my time with her. After living in Arizona for a short while, they returned to Michigan where they reside today. Carol is my 2nd cousin, 1x removed and I love corresponding with her. We call each other "big cuz" and "little cuz".
Of note, Carol's Dad John was responsible for saving my mother's Uncle John Evans. John Pazderski & John Evans were first cousins about the same age. The family story goes that Uncle John contracted sun stroke (or some other illness) and it was John Paz that nursed Uncle John back to health. Although Uncle John was never "right" in the head, he outlived all of his siblings.
We might be becoming distant cousins but we still share a strong bond with this special family!
