According to a translated German Departure Certificate from Selgenau,Germany/Zelgneiwo, Poland dated 09/13/1901, these are the birth dates of my great-grandparents, aunts, uncle, and grandfather.
Albert Erdmann, tailor, born 24 April, 1859 in Grabau/Grabowno
Rosalia Erdmann wife, born 15 March, 1862 in Zbyschwitz/Huby
Martha/Marta Erdmann daughter, born 20 December,1886 in Selgenau/Zelgneiwo
Maria Erdmann daughter, born 8 December, 1888 also in Selgenau/Zelgneiwo
Agatha Erdmann daughter, born 26 April, 1892 also in Selgenau/Zelgneiwo
Franz Erdmann son, born 20 May, 1894 also in Selgenau/Zelgneiwo
Tressa Erdmann daughter, born 7 May, 1898 also in Selgenau/Zelgneiwo
Clemens Erdmann son, born 5 October, 1899 also in Selgenau/Zelgneiwo
I also have the ship manifest that lists all of them sailing together as of 28 September, 1901 from Bremen Germany to Ellis Island in New York USA. They took the train to Minnesota to meet up with relatives in Montevideo, Minnesota. As of November, 1902, I have them registered at St. Anastasia Catholic Church in Hutchinson, Minnesota, USA. They moved to Minneapolis Minnesota USA during the latter part of 1910. On the 1909 census from Hutchinson Minnesota USA, my great grandfather stated that they had seven children. So, one died, and had their funeral in Schmilowo or Miasteczko Krajenskie Catholic Churches. My great-grandparents died in Minneapolis, along with my aunts, uncle, and grandfather. Martha was the only other aunt that married, had two children of her own, but neither one of them had children of their own. That's why I want to write a letter to either of these parishes to look for baptismal, marriage, and death records. Thank you.

Erdmann/Ehrtmann-Robaczech in Grabowno, Huby, and Zelgneiwo,
Claudette Moran, from Little Falls, Minnesota, USA. I am researching the surnames of Erdmann and Robaczek, or other variations. I want to research churches in Smilowo and Miasteczkeo Krajenskie.
