Hi Angie,
Maybe I can help you tie Edward Erasmus to Peter and Mary Erazmus.
There are 1910 and 1920 U.S. census records for the family as well as passage, naturalization and draft card registrations and marriage records for Peter and Mary Erazmus.
Piotr/Peter Erazmus was born on January 10, 1878 in Roza or Zasow Austria/Poland (died on 09/04/1943 in Chicago. Cook County, IL).He married Mary KROCHMAL on 11/10/1907 at St. Casimir Church in Chicago, IL.Marianna/Mary Krochmal was born in 1882 in Roza Austria/Poland (may have died on 04/23/1965 in Chicago, IL.
They had several children, all born in Chicago:Valerie born in 1908, Anna born in 1909, Joseph born in 1912, Edward born in 1914, Bessie born in 1915 and Adela born on 10/06/1918 (died on 03/09/1920).
In addition to Adela, they had three (3) other children that died as infants: Bronislawa born on 12/11/1911 (died on 06/14/1913), John born on 12/02/1916 (died on 12/03/1916) and Helena who died on 04/21/1921.All of the children were buried at Resurrection Cemetery.
Piotr/Peter immigrated arrived at the Port of Philadelphia on October 2, 1901 on board the S.S. Rhynland.Peter’s destination appears to be 1053 West 18th Street where he was going to join his sister. I cannot decipher his sister’s name or his last residence.
According to Peter’s Cook County Clerk Naturalization index card, he was born on 01/10/1878 in Roza Austria.
According to Peter’s Illinois death record, he was born on 01/08/1879 in “Zassow” (probably should be ZASOW) Poland.There are two (2) small villages called Zasow (population 901) and Roza (population 1,303) located about 5 kilometers apart.They are both in the Polish powiat (County) of Debica in the Polish province of Podkarpackie.
Marianna Krochmal arrived at the Port of Baltimore on May 14, 1902 on board the S.S. Brandenburg.Her destination was 1035 West 18th Street in Chicago where she was going to join her brother Jan/John Krochmal.She listed her last residence as “Rosa” (probably should be ROZA) Austria.
I will email you copies of the documents discussed above.
Best regards,
Norbert
