Reply:possibly a german derivative of some other name has been seen several times in minnesota with the addition of czyk in other words erdmanczyk. it has also been seen with the addition of an extra n (erdmann) and as erdmanchick in english for easier pronunciation because (chick )is how you pronounce (czyk). see kashubian surnames in poland on internet, however erdman has not been seen in poland. could be baltic-german in origin see nikolai robertovich erdman, russian writer, on wikipedia. found this : the erdman cousins homepage , you could email the contact person whose name i believe is karen, to find more info, good luck!
