Welcome to Skag End Productions – where history, family, and creativity meet. This channel features three main series:

Through Grandpa’s Lens – restored 1950s–70s films from my grandfather Byron Swartz, revisiting locations then and now;

Bloodlines & Backroads – true stories from my family tree, blending genealogy with rich historical context; and

Foundations & Footprints – exploring forgotten sites using old maps, LIDAR, and on-location footage. You’ll also find original music videos, historical deep dives, and creative projects that mix personal storytelling with broader history.

MUSIC DISCLAIMER:
When a description notes that a piece was written by me, the lyrics, the melody, or both were indeed written by Eric at Skag End. Some of the actual sound recordings you hear are produced with the help of AI tools. I do this unapologetically and with a clear conscience. If that’s not your cup of tea, there are plenty of other music sources out there.
