His wife, Catherine, and two children, Josef and Marianna, came in 1884. The ship records gives them as from Posen. In the Hamburger Auswandererlisten they are listed as from Posen, in the Province of Posen. Joseph married Zofya JAKUBOWSKI (widow) nee MACHINSKI in Jersey City, NJ, 1901, and in 1902 started using the name CUSTY on public records, although the children were baptized at St. Anthony Roman Catholic Church (Polish) with the name, SIKORSKI. Many descendants remained in Jersey City and nearby towns. Marianna (Mary) married Anthony SIUDZYNSKI by ca. 1891, perhaps in NY, where at least one child was born. They moved back to Jersey City by 1900, and at some point moved to Brooklyn where the widow, Mary, and two grown children are listed on the 1930 census. Marianna and children moved once more to Jersey City where she died in 1943, Anthony Jr. died in 1949. They are buried with Michael and Catherine SIKORSKI, Holy Name Cemetery. A John SIKORSKI seems related to this family. There was a daughter , Emily, and a son, Steven, who married first in East Islip, NY ca. 1931, and second in Ticonderoga, NY ca. 1942. Nothing further known.
