I am trying to locate the Town of Birth in Prussia/Poland of two
ancestors who moved to Peru, LaSalle Co., Il.

1) J.(Jacobus?) Thomas Cheslick/Cieslik born about 1820 in the Posen
area of Prussia(Poland). He arrived in N.Y. in 1851-2. He lived in
Chicago for a short time. He lived in Peru, LaSalle Co., IL during the
interval 1855-1864. He died in 1964--I believe in Peru, IL.

2) Susanna Cheslic/Cheslick (Thomas' daughter) born 9/14/1848 probably
in the Posen area of Prussia/Poland. Came to N.Y. with father in 1851-2
(her mother died on the ship coming over). She married Carl Koehler in
LaSalle Co., IL, and they moved to Ellinwood, KS where she died in 1943.

Will exchange information,
Malcolm Melcher
