ArchivesRe: Skibo
in reply to a message by Marc
I did a search in the online directory cited in your earlier posting. There were 15 entries but one looked like a business, so I didn't include it.
rechecking the "place of origin" for Skibo on the ancestry website, I found there were three arrivals, two Hungarian and one unspecified. Perhaps this was your Austrian. Names Janos (two) and Ferencz (sic).
I am convinced that this surname is from Hungary.

I don't think there's much doubt that the name is Hungarian but it's also not surprising that there were Skibos in Austria since it's right next door. There doesn't appear to be any there now, however.
