Can anybody help? My grandfather, Ferdinand Zink, came from Germany to America around
1874. He settled outside of Petoskey in Resort/Bear Creek Township, Emmet County,
Michigan. The 1880 Census shows that there was a Charley Zink that lived along side of
him. What I want to find out is what was the relationship between Charley and Ferdinand
Zink. The descendents of Ferdinand Zink remained in Emmet County until the middle of the
20th Century. The first line of descendents of Ferdinand and Johanna Zink were Augusta,
Albert, Herman, and Henry. It appears that Charles Zink moved to Iosco County, Michigan,
between 1880 and 1900. The first line descendents of Charles and Hermine Zink were Emiel
& Albert Moeller (Stepsons), Charles, and Mary Zink.
