I was married to a Szczepanik, Michael, from Illinois. His father is Joseph Szczepanik, Sr. Our children are Michael Jr., Stasia, Kajetan, Mosiah, and Merric Szczepanik-Godfrey. There is a lot of this branch of genealogy on the website
www.familysearch.org which might be useful to people. Stan Szczepanik from Indiana has gone to Poland cathedrals and done a lot of research. We always pronounced the name like an "sh" with a "ch" sound right after, "sh-ch-epanik", and I find it interesting that some people Americanized it all as "st". My children are very proud of their Polish heritage, the University of Krakow, all the intelligent Poles like Marie Sklodowska-Curie and Chopin, etc.
