Nellie Pacholec

(1.Adam¹) was born on 22 Jan 1910 in Youngstown, Mahoning, Ohio, USA; died on 7 Jan 1970 in Youngstown, Trumbull, Ohio.

Nellie married Frank Perchinske on 25 Oct 1941. Frank (son of Andrew Pijaczynski and Maria Anna Filipiak) was born on 4 Feb 1901 in Grafton, Lorain, Ohio, USA; died on 28 Sep 1960 in Youngstown, Mahoning, Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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. After immigrating, his last name varied on documents such as census records, deeds, and death certificates, before his children in the U.S. eventually adopted the name Perchinske. Rumor had it that teachers could not spell the name correctly and eventually his children became Perchinske.
