Historical References
"SKEOCH. There are places of this name in the shires of Ayr, Dumfries, and Stirling. As most of the names noted are connected with the West Coast the name may have been derived from Skeoch, near Mauchline, Ayrshire. John Skeoch was chaplain in Kilbimy in 1507, Andrew Skeoch, presbyter in Glasgow, 1522, appears in 1528 as Skeothe (a misreading of t for c). Sir John Skewych or Skeocht was procurator in Glasgow in 1553, and Elizabetht Skewcht is recorded in Glasgow in the same year (Protocols, i). William Skeoch took the Test in Paisley, 1686 (RPC., 3. ser. an, p. 496). "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
DNA
Sometimes you can run into a brick wall in your tree and you just don't have enough evidence to make that next step back in time. A DNA test can sometimes help to make a link to a particular family name if you find you share common DNA with people who have the same or similar surnames as each other. If you are lucky then you may get a match within a few generations and discover some Skeoch ancestors. Additionally, the modern DNA test can give you a breakdown of your ethnic mix - you may be surprised at the results!
