You can get a list of names, addresses, phones, birthdates, relatives residing in the United States from www.mypoll.us by just entering the person’s name! This is great!.

Where are all the Romanicks today?Where are all the Romanicks today? by Frank Romanick

I was researching my family name and came across a few different
books that Frank Romanick wrote. I decided to send him a letter……my uncle
married a woman named Romanick. I didn’t know if there
was a relationship between the names. Well Frank and I spoke on the phone and
the woman was his sister. He sent me the book to enjoy the Romanick’s
Family Tree and hopes to bring me closer to the families. Frank is in his late 80’s
and lives in Colorado.

Frank did a mass mailing:
905 copies of questionnaires sent to families living in USA
174 returned mailings because families living in USA did not leave any forwarding
address or the time expired for forwarding to the new address.
Out of 731 families in United States, only 55 families provided their family histories
for this Book Three.

70 copies of questionaire sent to families living in Canada.
19 returned mailing because families living in Canada did not leave any forwarding
address or the time expired for forwarding to the new address.
Out of 51 families in Canada, only 9 families provided their family historeis for this
Book Three.

This Book Three has more addresses of the family name Romanick and the 18 variations of that name—more than any other source.

If I can help you, please do not hesitate to e-mail. I do have the book and there is
all the addresses of all the Romanicks.
(Romanak, Romanec, Romaneck, Romanek, Romaniak,Romanic, Romanich, Romanick, Romaniec, Romanik, Romaniuc, Romaniuk, Romanuck, Romanuk, Romanyak, Romanych, Romanyk, Romanyuk……….USA
Romanicks in Canada……..Romanick, Romanyk )
