Pijaczynski Spelling Transition

The Pijzaczynski family name changed many times over the years. In Polish records, Andrew’s surname appeared as Peczynski. He had six children in Poland and five in the United States.

Rumor had it that teachers could not spell the name correctly and eventually his children became Perchinske.
