My name is Pamela Pitlanish and I started this site so that the Pitlanish (Pitlanič, Pitlanich, Petlanich, Patlonick) family can get to know each other through our branches & many leaves.  We are realizing that there are many different spellings of our surname, depending on how the folks at Ellis Island "heard" the name, & how it was then recorded during the process of immigration.  But the original spelling, and that of our cousins in Slovakia, is Pitlanič (č= ich sound).  Which is why John Pitlanich, the oldest of the sons of Andrej, probably spelled it Pitlanich, rather than Pitlanish, as his brothers did.

This site was created using MyHeritage.com. This is a great system that allows anyone like you and me to create a private site for their family, build their family tree and share family photos. I absolutely LOVE myHeritage, & I'm honored that you are sharing your personal and family information with me in order to make this tree a LIVING thing that we can all share in the creation of.
