This book has been in progress since at least 2014. That year marked 100 years since the last Pancio brother, John, immigrated to the US.
There was so much input from relatives that we published an exact reprint of the 1993 original (softcover, print on demand at Lulu.com). We then restyled the new material as a standalone book. It finished at 254 pages!
An illustrated Foreword, Journey to Tylawa and Pancios in Ukraine by Linda Wilmarth Pancio, tells the story of her 1996 visit to Lega and Pancio relatives. Photographs from that trip enrich many parts of the book. We were so excited to be able to fill out Daniel Pancio's descendants.

The book is dedicated to George Bell, researcher-author of the original Pancio history book, shown here with Anna Pancio Bunga (Frank's daughter) and Eva Pancio Smolnicki (Paul's daughter) during a research trip to Auburn, New York, in 1992.
This is the back cover. It shows the fabulous trio of cousins who coordinated their branches. Also, at the top, Linda Pancio Wilmarth and her father Paul and their spouses with Ivan/John and Michail Pancio in the "old country" in 1996.
