Hi Mary,
John Joseph Polzin was a direct descendant of Joseph and Salina Polzin Sr.
There are 1880, 1900, 1910 and 1920 U.S. census records for the Joseph Polzin Sr. family.
The 1880 U.S. census record is indexed on Ancestry.com as Joseph “Polson” living in Trenton, Wayne County, MI.
The 1900 U.S. census record is indexed on Ancestry.com as Joseph Polzin living in rural Augusta Township, Washtenaw County, MI.
The 1910 U.S. census record is indexed on Ancestry.com as Joseph “Polzen” living in rural Augusta Township, Washtenaw County, MI.
The 1920 U.S. census record is indexed on Ancestry.com as Joseph Polzin living in rural Augusta Township, Washtenaw County, MI.
Joseph Sr. was born in Germany/Prussia in March 1848. He married Salina in 1877, presumably in Trenton, Wayne County, MI. Salina was born in Germany/Poland in September 1855. She gave birth to seven children of whom five survived. All of the children were born in Michigan: Frank was born in 1877; John Joseph was born on February 13, 1879, another son named Frank was born in April 1887 (it is assumed that the first son named Frank died), Joseph Jr. was born in December 1888, Rose was born in April 1891 and George was born in May 1894. In 1880, Joseph Sr. was employed as a laborer. From 1900 until 1920, Joseph Sr. was farmer.
According to the census records, Joseph Sr. immigrated to the U.S. in 1872. Salina immigrated in 1876. There is a conflict in the census records as to when Joseph Sr. was naturalized a U.S. citizen. He was naturalized either before 1900 or between 1910 and 1920.
Joseph Sr. died between 1920 and 1930. In 1930, Salina was living with her son John Joseph and his family in Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, MI.
There is a New York Passenger List, 1851-1891 Record for a Joseph Polzin. He arrived in New York on August 5, 1872 on board the vessel Columbus. He was 26 years old and his place of origin was listed as Germany. His port of departure was Bremen, Germany.
Best regards,
Norbert"
