Raphael,
Yes you are right. I found 10 children born to your great-grandparents between 1907 and 1927. Besides Mary, two more Czaja babies died after birth or were stillborn:
An (unnamed male) baby was born on 28 Oct 1916 in Chicago to Joseph Czaja and Regina Baran, died (or was stillborn) on 28 Oct 1916 in Chicago, and was buried the same day in Resurrection Cemetery.
Source: "Illinois Deaths and Stillbirths, 1916-1947," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N3CP-2QG : accessed 7 April 2016), Czaja, 28 Oct 1916; Public Board of Health, Archives, Springfield; FHL microfilm 1,983,619.
Another Mary Czaja was born 31 Mar 1918 in Chicago to Joseph Czaja and Regina Baran, died (or was stillborn) on 31 Mar 1918 in Chicago, and was buried on 02 Apr 1918 in Resurrection Cemetery.
Source: "Illinois Deaths and Stillbirths, 1916-1947," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N366-X6Y : accessed 7 April 2016), Mary Czaja, 31 Mar 1918; Public Board of Health, Archives, Springfield; FHL microfilm 1,852,589.
I also found information on your great-grandmother Regina Baran, b 1880 in Gronkow. Were her parents Jakub Baran, wife Lucja, born 1853? If so, your great-grandmother's mother Lucja 'Lucille' Baran immigrated to the US as well and lived with her daughter Rozalia Szczewczyk, 121, Hammond St., Passaic, New Jersey. Notes on immigration: 21 Nov 1926, New York, SS Lituania, sailing from Danzig; Age: 72; last permanent residence: Grankow, with son Stanislaw Baran, destination daughter Rozalia Szczewczyk, 121, Hammond St., Passaic, New Jersey. She lived with your great-grandparents in Chicago when the 1930 US Census was taken. She was 77 ys old at the time and widowed.
So if this correct, Jakub Baran and Lucja 'Lucille' N.N had the following children:
2. REGINA BARAN was born in 1880 in Gronkow, Galicia, Austria (now Poland). She married Jozef Czaja, son of Anna Czaja in 1906 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA. He was born on 19 Jan 1880 in Ludzmierz, Galicia, Austria (now Poland).
3. ROZALIA BARAN was born on 09 Jan 1894 in Galicia, Austria (now Poland)(most likely in Gronkow). She died in Nov 1977 in Passaic, New Jersey, USA. She married FRANK SZCZEWCZYK OR SEFCHIK.
4. STANISLAW BARAN, lived in Gronkow in Nov 1926 when his mother emigrated to the US.

Yes that is true, it's lovely just to remember the great times with my granmother's siblings. Now yes I do know of Lucia and Jakub. Lucia's is also listed as Agnes as she was on her death certificate. It says her father is Joseph Kozial. I never heard of Rozalia and Stanislaw, how interesting. Did you get my private message concerning Ludźmierz and the cemetery?
