Skroch Family Tree |
|
Purpose of this website is to hold as
complete and detailed a family tree for the Skroch family
as possible as a service and resource to that group and
other surnames that intersect the Skroch surname.
Focus here is not on just the the trunk and branches, but
upon the stories that populate the tree and therefore the
rich history it conveys. Because of this we try to
focus upon written stories and pictures that are deeper
within the website.. This is intended to be a simple
website with few modern features. |

Skroch TreeWhile phenomenal progress has been
made since 2010, there remain a number of disjoint
trees at this point. Due to the work of multiple
family genealogists, especially the work of Martin
Pool in 2011, two more generations were added that
allowed the combination of a number of trees. I
was only able to update this surname list here in
2014, with work ongoing to update subpages.
Here are the primary resources on this website:
