Additional comments by Arlin Super: A genealogical source lists their Winona, MN, marriage date as June 4, 1883, which is in agreement with 17 years of marriage listed in the 1900 census and the birth of their first child in May 1884. Baptismal records from Stezyca Parish, Kartuzy County, Pomorskie, Poland have the following 1860 entry: Jacob Anton born to Johann Mrozkowski and Magdalena Kuchta.
