SKIRWANIAN - I'm guessing Armenian from the "ian" or "ion" ending which means 'son of.' Iskenderian is a common Armenian name for son of Alexander. Perhaps a www.google.com seach for Armenian surnames would help. Gary Radcliffe [email protected]
Maybe a variation of the German/Polish/Silesian name Schirdewan ??
