According to Michael Pizer: The Skowrosnki family bought fish wholesale in the neighboring town of Przdecz and sold retail in Klodawa and other larger towns. Besides Michael and Schmael there was another brother Cholek, and at least two sisters.

Email from Elaine Kempinski Alexander 1/21/08: My mother Paula Kempinski nee Pesseh Zysling was born in Klodawa in 1924. She is the unidentified, seated female in the photo of survivors taken at Landsberg Germany. Her parents Baruch and Sara Skowronski Zysling were murdered by the Nazis.

Email from Faye Palgon-daughter of Michael Skowronski, 4/28/08: . My father was Michael-also called Chulek as a nickname. His brother was Shmulek standing behind him, [referring to photo below] and he has 2 older sisters named Goldy and Pessa. Pessa was married and had a child, but I do not know the name-and none of them survived.

Email from Michael Gerver, 9/3/08, Raanana, Israel: Avram Yudah Baitel married Esther Chaya Taifel (or Faifel??) in 1852, in Klodawa (a town about 20 miles WNW of Kutno). Their marriage record, and the birth records of most of their children, just list her name as Chaya Taifel, but the birth record of their daughter Raizel Mindel lists her name as Esther Chaya Taifel, and according to Rose Radin (I think), her name was Esther. Esther Chaya was born about 1835, the daughter of Yakov Taifel and Shayna Dobrush Skowronska. They were married in Klodawa in 1834. In that record, the name is spelled Tayfel (or Fayfel?), and Yakov Taifel's parents are listed there as Salomon Tayfel (deceased) and Ruchel Kin (that doesn't sound like a Jewish last name, but there are many people named Kin listed in the online index), and Shayna Dobrush's parents are listed as Itzik Skowronski and Nacha Bornszteyn. Yakov's age is listed as 22, and Shayna Dobrush's age is listed as 18. There are lots of other Taifels, Skowronskis and Bornszteyns listed in the Klodawa vital records, including Esther Chaya's sister Taube Kayla Taifel, who died at the age of 7 in 1852.
