      The place of birth for Joseph's mother and father is Poland (Russ.) The Census reflects that William Frank came to this country in 1882 and that Rachel followed in 1884. William's occupation was listed as that of "Teamster".

      The Census also reflects that William and Racel had been married 18 years, which would have meant that Rachel was eleven (11) years old when they were married.
