Who Is Jane Skorina and What Can You Find on the Skorina Family Home Page?

Updated

Jane Skorina appears on skorina.com as one of the Skorina family members featured on a personal family home page, not as a public figure with an official biography. The site is a family photo and genealogy project maintained by Frank Skorina and relatives. If you are looking for Jane Skorina's family photos, the record of her 2000 cosmonaut training trip to Moscow, or a way to link your own personal page to the site, this page is the relevant source. If you need verified biographical, professional, or historical records, this site is not that kind of source.

What skorina.com actually is

The site describes itself as the Skorina family home page, covering "the madcap antics of Jane, Pam, Frank, Holly, Megan, Erik, Matt, and Russell and friends." Its stated purpose is family photos and connection among people with the Skorina surname.

Two things follow from that:

  • It is a personal, hobby-scale site, not an encyclopedia, archive, or official registry.
  • The last update shown on the page is January 20, 2006, so anything you read there reflects the family's information as of that date.

What you can find about Jane Skorina

The page links to three main content areas, two of which involve Jane directly.

Section What it contains Relevance to Jane Skorina
Family Tree Frank's genealogy work, showing how the Skorinas on the page are related Places Jane within the family structure
Cosmonaut Training A photo tour of Jane's week of cosmonaut training in Moscow in June 2000 The most detailed Jane-specific content on the site
Jane & Pam Family photos spanning multiple years Photos of Jane with Pam over time

So the substantive Jane Skorina material is photographic and family-oriented: a 2000 Moscow trip and a long-running set of family photos. There is no separate profile page, biography, or professional record for her on the site.

How to get your own site linked from skorina.com

The page states an open invitation to other Skorinas and to people with a personal web page they want linked from skorina.com.

The stated process:

  1. Send an e-mail describing your personal web page.
  2. If the site owners judge it "friendly," they will add a link to it on skorina.com.
  3. If you need help designing a site, you can ask — the page says they may be able to help.

Two practical notes: the page does not publish a contact address in the excerpt shown, so you would need to find the contact route on the live site; and because the last update is 2006, responses are not guaranteed.

When this site is the right source — and when it isn't

Use skorina.com if you want:

  • Family photos involving Jane Skorina and Pam
  • The photo record of Jane's June 2000 cosmonaut training in Moscow
  • Skorina genealogy and how the family members on the page are related
  • To request a link to your own personal page

Look elsewhere if you need:

  • A verified biography or professional credentials for anyone named Jane Skorina
  • Current contact information or recent activity
  • Official records of any kind

The site itself frames its content as family fun and photos, and its 2006 last-update date means it should be read as a snapshot of a family project rather than a current or authoritative reference.
