what is the origin of the last name schifko?

Answer 1

Hey Michael,

While I did not find this name in Swyrich or another NAME locator, it can be found at Ellis Island. The 4 entries for Schifko are for people that came from Russia. Here is one sample.

First Name: Rudolf
Last Name: Schifko
Ethnicity: Russia
Last Place of Residence:
Date of Arrival: Jul 26, 1893
Age at Arrival: 23y Gender: M Marital Status:
Ship of Travel: Didam
Port of Departure: Rotterdam
Manifest Line Number: 0112

So, you can go to Ellis Island.com and get the remaining records too. The Family Search entries are all for USA entries, which is not the origin.
