Phil Marincic

Posted on August 19, 2019 by Justin Durand

The guy who bought Great Grandpa Will Luce’s ranch in Big Piney, Wyoming was Phil Marincic (1899-1969). I haven’t done any research on his family, although I’ve been intending to.

Rootsweb is back

Posted on August 2, 2019 by Justin Durand
