There may be two Adam's in Cleveland at the time of this marriage. One may have spelled his name SLIVA. He also had a brother named Frank. Attempt to unravel this family connection.

QUESTION from Sandra Rozhon:
In my possession, a 1934 photo labeled:
Helen M. Sliwa and Clara Sliwa
94 Gibson St.
Buffalo, N.Y.
(One or both are wearing Communion outfits)
Are these the daughters of Adam and Antoinette?

REPLY:
The answer is probably, no.First that does not look like my mother or my aunt.My mother, Helen would have been 19 and my aunt Clara several years older.My mother's middle initial was "T".
----Jim Broz

CONCLUSION:
Upon checking the records at St. Barbara's in Cleveland, Helen and Clara, daughters of Adam and Antoinette, made their Communion in 1923.

~John Wojnarowski told me that he didn't think the father of Rev. Jarosz came to this country and that Jarosz is a common name like Smith. He recalls the mother as a widow but he didn't know where she lived. Dora Wolowiec told my mother that Anna lived for a time in the rectory with her son and then lived upstairs by Dora's sister's house.

SOURCE_OF_NAME:
The obituary of his son Rev. Joseph Jarosz.

RESIDENCES:
The ship manifest for Josef Jarosz shows that his destination was his father, Tony Jarosz, at 3701 Redman Ave., Cleveland. There is no such address on Redman, so it's possible that they lived at 3701 W13th St.
1920 - 1225 Redman Ave., Cleveland, Ohio (listed in 1920 Census as YAROSH, Anton

DEATH:
This MIGHT be Anthony Jarosz, though it seems unlikely because this date of death is BEFORE his son, Josef arrived in the U.S.:
JAROSZ TONY

[Update -- this is definitely not the parent of Father Jarosz. The Tony Jarosz, who died in 1920, was only 23 years old and single.]
