Stephen, I am also part of the Pruchnicki family. I have done some extensive family research and found many of the family in Poland. I have also been to Poland to meet them and have a very good contact there for research. I have posted my family tree here, so please take a look at it. There are still many unanswered questions 2 and 3 generations back. Should you feel there is a small connection, please contact me as I willing to share everything. The only problem is that my branch of the family settled in the New Haven CT area. There are other Pruchnicki's in CT that I don't know if I am related to. Hope to hear from you. Tom Pruchnicki Hamden, CT
