Surname:Skillings

Source:Descendants of Thomas Skillings lists several spelling variations: Skillings, Skilling, Skillin, Skillen, Skellen, Skilline, Skillion, Skelling. Some spellings were more common at certain points in time. There are several examples of Skillings marrying Skillins and they both descend from a common ancestor. My own line coming from this family uses the spelling Skillin, but I have entered all my entries as Skillings to allow my trees to match with the trees that were already here. --Jrich 00:54, 9 September 2008 (EDT)
