These are family names but I can't find their origin.

Could Skonsman be Dutch?

Could Skonsman be Dutch?

Welsh or Ukrainian, maybe?

KURLINK:

Might be Danish, wtf? Doesn't sound Danish at all though.

DACKA:

Macedonian(?).

Yeah, Pylip is difficult to track

Kurlink seems odd for a Danish name

Dacka couldn't be Macedonian since nobody in my family is Orthodox

And Skonsman seems to be non existent :-(

Hi,

I just checked Lithuanian surnames dictionary especially for you:coffee:

Kurlink (actually it sound funny in lithuanian, something like 'where to') - the most similar is Kurlinkus and it happens mostly in South Samogitia, but there are other similar surnames like Kurliauskas, Kurlinskas, Kurlis. The dictionary mentiones that primary it could come from kurlas, which means 'deaf'. Nickname?

Dacka. This surname is lithuanianised drom Dotz.

About Skonsman. I couln't find anything but it instantly sounded familiar. There is a little town Skomantai and it is in former N.E. Prussia http://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skomantai.

If you know german you sgould check: http://forum.ahnenforschung.net/forumdisplay.php?f=43:thumb001:
